Tange Sazen: Hyakuman Ryo no Tsubo -
Nearly a shot-by-shot remake of the classic 1935 film of the same name. Tange
Sazen, the one-armed, one-eyed ex-Samurai swordsman is the creation of Fubo
Hayashi (1900-1935), and was one of the most popular characters of that
era.
This marks the 34th film in the series of Tange Sazen, and
this comedy of errors involves an urn that is worth one million
ryo. Dramatic actor Toyokawa Etsushi takes on the role of Tange
Sazen who is forced to give up being a Samurai after being betrayed and wounded.
With a comical tone, Sazen deals with a nagging wife while becoming involved
with an orphaned child and a pot that could be worth one million
ryo.
