I agree with your review for the most part, although, in my opinion, Tomisaburo Wakayama is the MVT of this film and perhaps the entire series. Looking forward to your future samurai reviews!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153426751208051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461143163123797513.post-35206495937709542422011-09-10T01:31:46.795-04:002011-09-10T01:31:46.795-04:00Thanks for the comments.

I hadn't thought of that aspect before. Well-done.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565536760363686390noreply@blogger.com
