I could not see it available anywhere. However, this week it has turned up on
the growing list of Maya Grohn’s Youtube channel with english subtitles. She
has concentrated on Japanese films from the 1930s and 1940s – an era many
present-day translators do not find easy. Her subtitles can be quite sensitive
to register but have many errors that even a spellchecker would eliminate. I’d
like to buy her Alex’s <i>Handbook</i> so that she might at least avoid

supporting actors, that the coterie of female medical students are the real
thing, and not just extras. Tanaka Kinuyo looks completely at home in the part,
as if she had used a stethoscope for years. Whereas <i>Ornamental Hairpin </i>was
released just five weeks after Tanaka’s previous film, there was a full three
months further gap before the release of this film and I fancy that Tanaka and
