Tokyo March backdrop

Tokyo March

Directed by Kenji Mizoguchi

Starring Shizue Natsukawa, 一木札二

A classic melodramatic love tragedy addressing social inequality in Taishō-era Japan, The nostalgic scenes of 1920s Tokyo provides a valuable visual experience set against the background of the title song, "Tokyo March." (Sadly, less than a half hour of the footage has been recovered and restored.)
