Pursuit At Dawn

1950· 94 min★ 6.2· Crime, Drama

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.

Cast: Ryō Ikebe, Jun Tazaki, Michitarō Mizushima

Director: Kon Ichikawa
