Akira Kurosawa's sortie into the chilly white-collar world of corporate corruption is an uneven mixture of muckraking journalism and hysterical revenge tragedy. But the opening segment at least -- twenty minutes on a talk-of-the-town wedding celebration -- is unbeatable in its use of wide-screen space, as it jumps between dense, high-contrast long shots and conspiratorial closeups. With Toshiro Mifune. (1960) — Duncan Shepherd
