Iwauchi Katsumi/Suna no kaori

[Stephen Cremin]

I thought Iwauchi Katsumi was a man, but happy to be proved wrong.  Born 
in 1925, he directed thirteen films to my knowledge for Toho beginning 
with LOVE ME! LOVE ME! (Aishite aishite) which was released in early 
1963.  Probably most closely associated with the YOUNG GUY (Wakadaisho) 
series starring Kayama Yuzo for which he directed at least half-a-dozen 
episodes including CAMPUS A-GO-GO, he also shot THE TIGERS: HI! LONDON 
starring Kishibe Ittoku and THE NIGHT OF THE SEAGULL (Suna no kaori) in 
1968 starring Hama Mie.

Guess he's still alive ... somewhere.   Don't expect him to be 
rediscovered at Rotterdam anytime soon.
