Storyline
Featured review
One Eyed Dragon...
An entertaining and fascinating historical epic from writer director Hiroshi Inagaki. The film is richly detailed & quite remarkable in scale and scope considering this was a wartime production.
Specializing in period drama-jidaigeki, actor Chiezo Kataoka's outstanding career is marked with many memorable characterizations. Here he stars and gives a typically spirited performance as Date Masamune, a powerful feudal lord he ruled from 1600-1636 the end of the Azuchi-Momoyama period through to the early Edo period, He was as portrayed, a leader with a fearsome reputation, a brilliant tactician, a relentless warrior. Masamune was also known for his famous crescent-moon-bearing helmet. Appealing to war time sentiment, to the Japanese warrior spirit Dokuganryu Masamune had been lost following the war. Assumed destroyed under a policy by the American Occupation forces until a copy surfaced in recent years. Now restored, the important historical epic has thankfully become available for the Japanese Classic film enthusiast...
