Ginrei no hate

Thieves hide in a small lodge in the mountains as the police trail them. They decide to cross over the top but things go wrong (of course).

This was an early Kurosawa script and Mifune role and you can see lots of what came later in this fairly straightforward crime story. It's got some nice mountain photography and suspense even though it's nothing you can't predict or have seen before. Still worth it for the people involved.

It's quick moving and well acted so worth checking out if TCM shows it or you find a DVD somewhere.

Black and white, reasonable length, good score, check it out and have a good time!
