Review

One of Kurosawa's most entertaining works, The Hidden Fortress concerns a shrewd general (Mifune) attempting to smuggle a petulant princess and her treasure trove of gold through enemy territory. Augmented by a bungling pair of peasants, the divergent group encounters enough hair-raising obstacles to sap the power of a light saber. Much in evidence is Kurosawa's sense of humor, largely embodied by Mifune's warrior who flails, cajoles and berates his ragtag crew. The inspiration for Star Wars. (Japanese with English subtitles)
