the woman... and the tension cleverly built in her scene with the young doctor.
How about the ensemble? The cooks are brilliant, almost Shakespearean relief. Mifune is brilliant, however, and carries the film. In a Hollywood "factory" film, he'd have many lecture type scenes, extolling the virtues of helping your fellow man. Mifune/Kurosawa don't need that. They have other actors make a few comments and then SHOW you how the doctor earned respect. I especially liked the wonderful scene where Mifune/Kurosawa showed good men needn't be wimps. It was a hilarious nod to Mifune's samurai past and an obvious wink at the audience.
A brilliant film about a very serious topic: what's more important than one man helping another, unselfishly?
Follow Ups:
No, no too many scenes are just childish, a little bit like in old cowboys films the men got along, nothing better than men friendship....That is what I call naive, and then the plot...
The young doc who is born with a golden spoon, and now is making crisis...
No, no, that was not the standard of K.
Yes the cooks look & smell like Shakespear.
Which women? Ha, there are so many. That is what I critic, two many stories in only one film.
I can imagine why M/ K had their last effort together here.

I dunno, but after this film they never did one more.
I will have to check that out.
