    SECRETS OF A COURT MASSEUR (1960) - REMASTERED
    Price:  $12.99 

    Description:

    Shiranui Kengyo - Born without eyesight, Ichi learns from childhood how to turn his handicap to his own advantage, scheming money and sake from gullible passers-by in order to support his penniless mother.
    As a young man he is trained as a masseur at a school for the blind, led by the Shiranui Kengyo, one of the land's most respected masseurs and acupuncturists, who counts the shogun himself among his clientele. Despite being far from the most talented pupil in school, Ichi has a burning ambition to succeed the Kengyo, but the venerated one only derides him for being foolish.

    Ichi's talents for schemes, however, have only improved since his childhood days. Never hesitant to pick the purse off a dead man or take advantage of a damsel in distress, he lives off the healthy proceeds of his crimes. He becomes an expert manipulator, whose power only grows when he falls in with a trio of bandits that start acting as his strongmen.

    An exceptional performance from Katsu Shintaro who imbues his otherwise reprehensible character with so much humanity that we are all too willing to follow him on his treacherous path.
