"The Sword of Doom"
1967
Directed by Kihachi Okamoto

One of the most thrilling samurai epics of the 1960's. Tatsuya Nakadai stars as a bloodthirsty samurai who slices and chops his way from town to town, unfettered by any sense of honor. The madman's keen skill is matched only by that of a virtuous fencing teacher, played forcefully by Toshiro Mifune. Japanese with English subtitles. Black and white.
120 minutes.
