<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thanks Markus.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Luck is a bit relative here. I can't see the Hakurai
kinema sakuhin jiten volumes outside of Japan and the US (The nihon eiga ones
are at Oxford). So, at 240,000 yen and up, if it ain't in Pia, or
online, it seems it's gonna have to wait.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>But at least I've got confirmation of where I
stand.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>best,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>First, the correction:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>A few months back, I recall answering to a question on
German-Japanese collaborations about Riefenstahl's 'Olympia' and saying
something to the effect that the four-year delay would be
incomprehensible today. I've just stumbled on the fact that the 2006
UK film 'Amazing Grace' is currently on release in Japan and is being
heavily advertised. In my defense, the age of the film is not exactly
being pushed ...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My question is - and I'm sure this has been asked
before, but I can't locate it - I'll write it into the index of my 'Research
Guide' this time - is what is an accessible resource for the release dates
of foreign films into Japan. The period I'm interested in right now is
some UK films of the 50s. For later periods, there's runs in the UK of
Kinema Junpo, but is there any volume I could acquire which would hold this
information please ?</FONT></DIV>
