The film
A petty thief with an utter resemblance to a samurai warlord is hired as the lord's double. When the warlord later dies the thief is forced to take up arms in his place.
Only the second Kurosawa in color, but feels like a major step up in filmmaking as well. This stacks up to any of the other great films he’s made. Giant final battle. Rented on Amazon Prime.
