This film marked a breakthrough for Japanese master Akira Kurosawa which was his first successful film and also the first time he worked with Toshirô Mifune with whom he could collaborate for 15 other films, many considered masterpieces. The story about a fallen and alcoholic doctor who sees himself in a young gangster with tuberculosis whom he wants to safe. Kurosawa blends Italian neo-realism with American film-noir perfectly with two riveting performances by Takashi Shimura and Mifune. A timeless classic that hasn't lost one bit of its power like many other of Kurosawa's films. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
