Kurosawa's "monument to the goodness of man" depicts the touching and tumultuous relationship between a vain young doctor and a compassionate clinic director. The ambitious intern is initially angered to be assigned to an impoverished clinic but, under Red Beard's careful tutelage, comes to cherish the lives of each of his destitute patients. The elder doctor, played magnificently by Mifune, is a fascinating blend of quiet dignity and raw anger that creates film moments of great pathos, action, and humor.
Viewer Reviews This is one of Kurosawa Akria's early efforts, reflecting both his unique very visual style of filmmaking and his concern with the human situation. This is NOT really a samurai movie in the accepted Western sense, although Mifune does beat the hell out of a group of baddies in more or less typical Mifune fashion, and also typically, voices regret for having done so! It is a very good, if not excellent film, which concerns itself with themes of loyalty and rebellion, sickness and health, and life and death.
