Unko? Is "Sanshiro Sugata Part I" in that category. I am very familiar with the "Trilogy" and wonder how the story translates in this saga. Is it worth a look?
Follow Ups:
Sanshiro Sugata has been made several times, but the one I liked best is the 1943 B&W version by Kurosawa. It is a good film, but not of the grand scale of Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy. I also saw a 1960 version of Sanshiro Sugata starring pop singer Yuzo Kayama which was okay and in color, but more graphically violent than the 1943.
I just browsed the foreign film section at my local Borders (books/music/film) and did not see any version of Sanshiro Sugata. The judo angle provided the original interest to me. It seems somewhat unique as a support vehicle. I will investigate further.The other films you and Victor have been discussing were available. Thank you both for introducing them to me. Soon, I will have new additions to my limited library.
