can't find anything online about Makino's 1934 "Awadatsu <BR>seishun"
(Frothy/bubbling youth?) -- which will be an extra in the deluxe <BR>edition
of the upcoming DVD set of "Oshidori utagassen". Anyone know of a <BR>plot
summary anywhere?<BR><BR>And speaking of "Oshidori utagassen", is the
"oshidori" meant to invoke "a <BR>romantic couple/pair of (human) lovebirds"
-- rather than the literal <BR>"mandarin duck"?<BR><BR>MEK<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
