Extraordinary command on the script and a sheer technical brilliance. A delight! 12 years 6 months ago -

One of his [Kurosawa] strongest for sure, with Toshiro Mifune giving yet another knockout performance. 13 years 3 months ago -
ClassicLady
Enthralling moral dilemma in the first hour and a decidedly great detective story in the second hour. One of the best from Kurosawa. 7 years 8 months ago
