gurdymonkeyI managed to leave the Antiques By The Bay flea market with only photos. (I do have more dental work coming up, and plane tickets to pay for!)
Spent the afternoon in the dark with a very young Toshiro Mifune and Takeshi Shimura. "Stray Dog," and "Drunken Angel" are two very early Kurosawa films which I had not previously seen. "Dog" is about a rookie cop (Mifune) whose pistol gets lifted while he's on a crowded train and the hunt to find the gun and the "stray dog" who's got his hands on it. In "Drunken Angel," Mifune plays a yakuza with TB. Shimura is his curmudgeonly doctor who drinks too much. Both well worth a look.
