Hi Tom,
You might want to start here:

Both Mainichi Eiga and Nihon Eiga Sha (renamed Shin Nihon Eiga Sha) have a 
pretty detailed database that you can search.
Here are their URLs:

http://www.n-eigashinsha.jp/index-ar.html
( http://www.n-eigashinsha.jp/rekishi-news.html This has a detailed 
description of what they have. Some of their material now is apparently 
owned by NHK now.)

Best of luck,
