    Three hours and this is all you get?
    I agree with the other reviewer who noted that this is a tedious movie.

    Perhaps this was something special in japan of the early sixties. That was a time before Japan had come to dominate the automobile inustry and was still mucking around with little bux boxes.

    This would be a matching movie for a country in an undeveloped state.

    The story is procedural and the acting poor - to western eyes. What on earth reason that group had to all be together on a ferry is laughable.

    High And Low - great movie, even today Harakiri - great movie, even today

    This? Not so.
