Furyo Shojo / Naruse

[eigagogo at free.fr]

Dear all,

Is  Naruse's 'Furyo shojo' (1949) considered to be a lost movie ?
According to Audie Bock's book on Naruse both negative & dupe positive are lost,
same goes for the screenplay. This was written in 1983 .. maybe there have been
news since?

In the same book, there's mention of 'flesh' movies made by 'masters' in the 50s
such as Kinoshita's Shonen-ki & Toyoda's Haru no sasayaki .. is there any others
similar 'commercial' sex-oriented movies made by 'famous' directors?


thanks!
