Pursuit At Dawn (1950)

Release Date: 1950-06-01
Runtime: 1h 34min
Production Company: Tanaka Production
Production Country: Japan
Director: Kon Ichikawa

This little seen early work by Ichikawa was produced during the director's Shintoho period (1947-51). Written by Kaneto Shindô and featuring Ryô Ikebe as a young policeman it is part crime drama, part social study. Definitely not an undiscovered masterpiece, but still a must for Ichikawa buffs.
