Liner notes by Stuart Galbraith IV
(Japan, 1949) Akira Kurosawa directs the drama about an army surgeon (played by Toshiro Mifune) who contracts syphilis from a patient and struggle to maintain his practice while protecting his patients from the disease. It was the second collaboration between director Kurosawa and star Mifune. Takashi Shimura, another of Kurosawa's most reliable actors (he played the philosophical leader of The Seven Samurai), co-stars as Mifune's physician father.
