<div dir="ltr"><div>Really interesting reading about that film, I found quite a few stills and pamphlets on sites like Yahoo Auctions Japan. It was shown on the Japanese Movie Channel in April 2017 (<a href="https://x.com/nihoneiga/status/851698881108824064">https://x.com/nihoneiga/status/851698881108824064</a>). I'm not familiar with him, but a Twitter user by the name of Ken Shimomura seems to have information that the prints were "junked" by Toho (<a href="https://x.com/Shimo_x2/status/1622444741093883904">https://x.com/Shimo_x2/status/1622444741093883904</a>). This seems to be their area of expertise, so while I wouldn't take it as fact, it seems like reliable information. Does anybody know this person?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 25, 2024 at 7:42 PM <<a href="mailto:kinejapan-request@mailman.yale.edu">kinejapan-request@mailman.yale.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send KineJapan mailing list submissions to<br>

Has anyone heard of, let alone seen, the following film? It has one of the greatest casts in all of Japanese film history, I guess!<br>
<br>
<br>
Joshu to tomo ni (Hisamatsu Seiji, 1956)<br>
<br>
with:<br>
<br>
Hara Setsuko<br>
<br>
Tanaka Kinuyo<br>
<br>
Kogure Michiyo<br>
<br>
Kagawa Kyoko<br>
<br>
Kuga Yoshiko<br>
<br>
Okada Mariko<br>
<br>
Awaji Keiko<br>
<br>
Yoko Tani (a forgotten figure of film history!)<br>
<br>

Wow, a women?s prison film with Tanaka Kinuyo as the warden and Kuga Yoshiko (who in real life was the daughter of a marquis) as a prisoner! <br>
<br>
I haven?t seen it, but it doesn?t seem to be easy to find. The NFAJ does not have it and it is not out on DVD. SkyPerfect doesn't seemed to have shown it. But it has been screened at a rep house before:<br>
