赤鬍子

Director: Akira Kurosawa

Starring: Toshiro Mifune, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Reiko Dan

An older doctor helps an arrogant young doctor learn the true meaning of his profession.

Yuzo Kayama is a young doctor who is full of himself - full of pride in his abilities and full of ambition to serve the rich and prominent. But he has little interest in his patients and little desire to really help people.

So he is not exactly thrilled to be sent to a rural clinic for poor people, run by an autocratic older doctor known as Red Beard (Toshiro Mifune). He does everything he can to escape what he considers to be a prison sentence. Deep under his outer layers of insolence and arrogance, though, a compassionate heart beats, and Red Beard helps the young man come to grips with what is truly important.

Director Akira Kurosawa is known for fierce action films such as The Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress, but here he creates a very human drama with fine emotional shadings.
