The Quiet Duel from 1949 is another weird Akira Kurosawa film. It isn’t included in the Criterion Collection with all of his other movies from the time. This week we trade out tuberculosis for syphilis in a small-scale character drama helmed by a subdued Toshiro Mifune performance. Is this a little known film worth digging up? Or should we just have kept quiet about it?
