Drunken Angel (1948). Another great flick by Kurosawa. Toshiro Mifune, recently released from the army, was skinny enough to convincingly play his role. Takashi Shimura portrayal of a rough and tumble doctor that cared too much about his patients was splendid. This turned ou to be a great story centering on the unbalanced relationship between two difficult individuals, both of whose natures are not apposite of their careers and therefore serves to torture them. Ashe.
