a japanese film of sixties

[kelly]

if it's such an important film then it is bound to be in donald 
richie's "the japanese movie, an illustrated history".
and if not there and if nobody on the list knows the title of the 
mystery film
you can otherwise try to contact a film archive center based in Japan.
good luck
