Japan's Longest Day Toshirô Mifune toplines a huge cast of Japanese he-men in this exhaustively accurate, suspenseful and gory account of the final 24 hours before Hirohito's surrender broadcast. Old diplomats try to calm down sword-wielding cadet fanatics attempting a palace coup. An obscure historical classic, from AnimEigo.   9/16/06 Posted by DVD Savant at September 15, 2006 08:46 PM
