Synopsis
Acting
Kessen Kojinyama
Kind of the Japanese equivalent of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, this film is a fictionalized version of the gang battle in the later Edo period, which ended up in a direct duel between Kira no Nikichi (Ryunosuke Tsukigata) and Ano Toku (Dennosuke Ichikawa).
The Spell of the Sand Painting
The Ryueis and the Tenmokus fight over gold bullion secretly stored away in Osaka Castle. A dramatization of a popular novel - three competing studios also produced their own versions of the story.
