The Rickshaw Man : 1958 Japanese Drama: 1 h 44 m: Dir.-Hiroshi Inagaki : Matsugoro is a wild rickshaw puller, fighting all the time with others till he comes across a sober family. After the demise of family head, this softened rickshaw puller helps that widow and her son in all the ways. At the fag end of his life he feels his love and affection towards the widow he helped the whole life but the feeling of his expectation for his good deeds from her leads him to a great amount of guilt and he dies. Hiroshi Inagaki was bit senior to Kurosawa and one can find the resemblance in their directions. It could be the best performance of Toshiro Mifune's acting career. Hats off to this movie.
