Mizoguchi's "Taki no shiraito" is the only one I know. ;~}

There are copies of subtitled TV broadcasts (?) in private circulation.  I 
don't know that there has ever been any commercial subtitled release.

Matsuda owns a subtitled print that they use for their benshi performances 
before English-speaking audiences. (As I recall, it translates the benshi 
script as well as the few intertitles).
