Inagaki's adaptations to the silver screen of stories by Shin HASEGAWA like 'Mabuta no haha' (Mother of my Eyelids) and 'Ippongatana dohyo iri' (Ippongatana (One-sword) enters the ring) as well as Kan Shimozawa's work 'Yataro kasa' (Yataro's kasa (a type of conical hat)), of the wandering warrior genre, also garnered rave reviews; in later years such films by Inagaki were repeatedly remade.
また長谷川川伸の「瞼の母」「一本刀土俵入り」、子母沢寛原作「弥太郎笠」などのまた旅物も好評で、のちにたびたびリメイクされている。
