Dir: Akira Kurosawa Cast: Toshiro Mifune , Tatsuya Nakadai , Takashi Shimura . Article: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/89022/Sanjuro/articles.html "Stripping conventional notions of honor from his tale of a wandering samurai (Toshiro Mifune), who goes by the poetic alias of Sanjuro ("Thirty years old"), Kurosawa introduced to the international action genre the archetype of a scruffy but wily antihero who plays one side of a local struggle against the other to his own advantage."
