Isuzu Yamada movie referenced in commentary
During the scene where Lady Asaji hands the spear to Washizu, Michael Jeck talks about how she handles that spear pretty well, and that she had had some martial experience in a Kenji Mizoguchi movie, made in the 40s, about a swordswoman. If I'm not mistaken, this is "Meito bijomaru" ("The Famous Sword"), made in '45. Can anybody confirm/deny? Anybody seen it? Anybody know where I can view it (English subtitles, hopefully )?
