Dear Glynford,
<p>The second film's Japanese title is "Nakinureta haru no on'na yo," and
both films are directed by Shimizu Hiroshi.
<p>Best,
<p>Mitsuyo Wada-Marciano

I am a Japanese film fan living in Nova Scotia Canada. I am a one of those
quiet people who listens and rarely comments. </font></font></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size=+0>
Recently two films have come into my possession on video tape purporting
to have been directed by Hiroshi Shimizu in 1932 and 1933. The titles are
SEVEN SEAS which is in two parts ? Part one subtitled “Virgin” and Part
two “Virtue”. These films are silent. The second film also from 1933
is called NAKINURETA HANU NO ONNA though a friend suggest that HANU could
be HANA. This fill has sound in fact much singing and a ship board location.
Both have the Shockiku label at the front and are unsubtitled.</font></font></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size=+0>
I wonder if anyone has heard of either of these films? Are they indeed
by Shimizu?</font></font></span><br/><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size=+0>
Thank You</font></font></span><br/><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Times New Roman"><font size=+0>Glynford</font></font></span></blockquote>
