Priest Of Darkness (1936) ***

The weakest of the three preserved films directed by Sadao Yamanaka, but still a very fine film about the theft of a small samurai knife.

The Million Ryo Pot (1935) *****

One of the greatest classics of the Japanese cinema, an endlessly inventive comedy about the search for an ugly vase worth a fortune. A superb musical score.
