[KineJapan] greatest cast in a film I never heard of until now!

[Gerow Aaron]

Wow, a women’s prison film with Tanaka Kinuyo as the warden and Kuga Yoshiko (who in real life was the daughter of a marquis) as a prisoner! 

I haven’t seen it, but it doesn’t seem to be easy to find. The NFAJ does not have it and it is not out on DVD. SkyPerfect doesn't seemed to have shown it. But it has been screened at a rep house before:
