Takeshi Sato

[Stephen Cremin]

Same "Takeshi" as Kitano Takeshi.  Born in Tokyo's Meguro ward on 13  
April 1903.  Died 8 December 1971.  I think CHOCOLATE AND SOLDIERS  
(1938) was his debut as a director.  His other films include A YOUNG  
TEACHER (1942), HOMECOMING (1949), ENOKEN NO TENGOKU TO JIGOKU  
(1954).  Offhand, I think his final film was in 1957.
