<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear Moe,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Could we take your successful enquiry one step further,
please ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In what country did you see this movie, and do you think
it was at the cinema or on TV ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It interests me because in this country (UK) and others,
back in the eighties and before, considerable numbers of foreign movies were
broadcast and had subtitles prepared. They certainly have not all
reappeared on DVD. The broadcasting companies have all effectively shed
their public service obligations but managed to keep their titling work, along
with much other intellectual property, buried in-house.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So there's more than one inaccessible list this film may
be on.</FONT></DIV>

AM<BR>>> Hello Moe,<BR>>> The story you described sounded like
Nagayo Yoshiro's novel<BR>>> Seido no<BR>>> Kirisuto, Christ in
Bronze (sorry I'm more in the<BR>>> literature side). I<BR>>> don't
know about its film adaptation, but Wikipedia (excuse<BR>>> my
using<BR>>> it) tells the film version was made in 1955 and was
shown<BR>>> at Cannes in<BR>>> 1956. The plot focuses on a
blacksmith who was ordered to<BR>>> make a<BR>>> bronze "fumie" and
he does it out of his romantic love for<BR>>> a Christian<BR>>>
girl. He gets suspected to<BR>>> be a Christian himself because the Christ
figure he created<BR>>> was too<BR>>> beautiful, and he gets killed.
Good luck with your<BR>>> research! -Kumiko<BR>>>
