Masumura Yasuzo

[Li Hoo Cheong]

I've seen <Giant and Toys>, <The Wife of Seishu Hanaoka> and 
<Lullaby of the Earth>, all worth seeing.  I would recommend
<Lullaby ..> and <Red Angel> as not-to-be-missed films.  I
shall be seeing all 14.  These films were shown in the U.S.,
and some list members might have a better idea on their worth.
