Speaking of Yamaguchi Yoshiko (aka Shirley Yamaguchi, Li Koran), I'm 
hoping someone might be able to direct me to a subtitled print (DVD 
or VCR) of one of her earlier propaganda films. I'm trying to arrange 
a screening for students here at Univ. of Texas at Austin that will 
follow on a lecture by Ian Buruma whose currently at work on a book 
about Yamaguchi. At this point I've found "House of Bamboo" (Fuller, 
1955) - which I've watched, not without some pain, - and "Japanese 
War Bride" (Vidor, 1952), which I'm about to preview, but was very 
much hoping to have something from her wartime period, especially her 
1940 "Shina no yoru."

Any leads much appreciated. Thanks, Kirsten
