As a recent big fan of Akira Kurosawa's films, I am curious about Mifume himself as most bio about him that I read is short, In japanese ( I can't read japanese...) and mostly about his film not his life.
One thing that fascinate me is that some his beginning into films is pretty much a movie in it self. I wonder if the The clerk who made the error on putting his application into the "audition file" instead of job application basket ever realized what he/she just done.
With all the samurai films that Toshiro Mifune played, did he ever had any formal training in swords or in martial arts in general besides the military ?. I wonder if there is a movie based upon Mifune's life.
Thanks...
