Yes, I saw that in the screen notes. Very influential guy. Also the lead actor was superb - Toshiro Mifune - was superb. Apparently he was the leading light of Japanese actors for many years. |
Another Kurosawa classic, also starring Toshiro Mifune -
"The Hidden Fortress" - was one of George Lucas' inspirations for Star Wars.
