Images of the Day: A Smile in the Sun

Daniel Kasman

A rare moment of unabashed of happiness in the 17 film collaboration between Japanese director Mikio Naruse and actress Hideko Takamine (with this being their first, when Takamine was 17, and Hit and Run (1966) being their last, when the actress was 42).

 

From Mikeo Naruse's Hideko, the Bus Conductress (1941); featuring Kamatari Fujiwara and Hideko Takamine; cinematography by Ken Azuma.
