[KineJapan] reception of samurai films in 1950s?

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Hello,



The following article seems to cover how Japanese audience received jidai-geki during the 1920 – 1950 era:



Anderson, J. L. “Japanese Swordfighters and American Gunfighters.” Cinema Journal, vol. 12, no. 2, 1973, pp. 1–21., www.jstor.org/stable/1225492.



Hope this will give your student a start.
