<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi--<div><br></div><div>I'm a translator working on a novel that mentions, in passing, the 1945 film Ikeru Isu (行ける椅子）, directed by Akira Nobuchi and starring Tsumasabuo Bando and Mieko Takamine. In order to choose a good title in translation, it would help to know what the film is about. Does anyone know? It could, I suppose, be a film version of Edogawa Rampo's Ningen Isu (人間椅子), but I have no way of knowing that for sure.</div><div><br></div><div>I've found newspaper ads for it and other factual citations on the Internet, but nothing giving me any hint of the story. Without knowing that, I hesitate a direct translation like <i>The Living Chair. </i></div><div><i><br></i></div><div>I don't have access to the right issues of Eiga Junpo. I'm in the States right now.</div><div><br></div><div>Jeff</div></body></html>
