Watched this last night.
Miwa is a revelation and totally steals the show. Her romantic criminal is lovely! I keep thinking about her, or is it feeling about her. She went deep in to my subconscious thats for sure. Not enough writers have explored the Criminal X Detective polarity.
The quality of the print was appalling! I hope there is a remaster or at least plans of one. It’s an extremely beautiful movie and Miwa is such a hidden super star globally speaking. Time she got to shine.
Mishima is in it for about a minute total. He’s a statue, which rather limits his acting possibilities…but he does get a kiss from Miwa. He adapted the script from an Edogawa Rampo story.
There’s another one they also made together called Black Rose Mansion I am currently hunting down.
