[KineJapan] Film location for Ozu's 1959 version of 'Floating Weeds' ('Ukikusa') ...

[Mark R. Harris]

Ozu's shade can take consolation from the fact that when I showed "Good
Morning" to the Green Bay Film Society, the audience broke into spontaneous
applause at the end - which hardly ever happened during my years of
association with the group.

Best regards,
Mark R. Harris
