Comments

Signs of a budding genius directo ONE WONDERFUL SUNDAY (1947) has a simple little plot.A young Tokyo couple have almost no money to spend on their only day available for a date.It isn't long until the money is gone, as well as the young man's spirit. The ending is uncomfortably corny, you will squirm in your seat.There is signs of Akira Kurosawa becoming a great director.He makes us pay attention to the decreasing amount of money (much like he made us pay attention to the number of slain bandits in SEVEN SAMURAI, and his stab at Frank Capra style humor is pretty good.A must see for the student of this great director.
