Juri:
<<But we still don't know if Kurosawa knew Hammett. But
in the early sixties he filmed Ed McBain's novel - in Finland
the film is called "Heaven and Hell", but just now I don't
remember what McBain novel it was. Maybe Kurosawa did know
American hard boiled literature.>>
This hast to be the one I called "The Bad Sleep Well". I've
only seen this movie once, a long time ago, so my title is
approximate. I recall that Toshiro Mifune played a very
serious police detective in a suit. The movie had a definite
"noir" feel.
Did Kurosawa ever write his memoirs? I bet they would be as
interesting as his career. As I write about Kurosawa, I
realize what an irreparable loss his death has been. A truly
independent thinker and film-maker.
