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
