A Chivalrous Spirit
An all-star ensemble headlines this Jidaigeki classic. Set in the samurai era, it tells the tale of period Yakuza and remains one of the real classics of the genre. Jirocho, an honorable and respected gang boss, uncovers a conspiracy orchestrated by rivals as he pursues justice for three murders. Featuring some of Toei Studios' most famous actors, this is a must-see for everyone. The film features a very young Nakamura Kinnosuke, who would later become one of Japan's most noteworthy actors under the name Yorosuya Kinnosuke. This remains one of the best examples of his early work.
