The Eagle and the Hawk

Travel via NYC Ferry to the Japan Society to see the film “The Eagle and the Hawk. Take NYC Fery’s East River, Astoria, Soundview or Lower East Side (LES) route to E. 34th St to watch this Japanese drama as it unfolds. 

A high seas adventure, murder mystery and revenge-driven melodrama all rolled into one, Inoue’s follow-up to The Winner casts Ishihara as a cocky, musical seaman who joins the crew of a rusty cargo ship headed to Hong Kong. Amidst fistfights and scuffles along the way, two women on board vie for the ukulele-playing sailor’s attention: a sultry stowaway and the captain’s high-spirited daughter, who is also pursued by the ship’s first mate. Morally ambiguous, Ishihara’s character offered something new to Japanese cinema: a dirty hero with his own sense of justice and a way with song.

1957, 115 min., DCP, color, in Japanese with English subtitles. Directed by Umetsugu Inoue. With Yujiro Ishihara, Rentaro Mikuni, Ruriko Asaoka, Yumeji Tsukioka.
