One Wonderful Sunday Movie Review 1947

It's postwar Tokyo, so just how wonderful can things be? Well, perky Masako (Nakakita) is determined to make the day as bright as possible for her depressed fiance, Yuzo (Numasaki), despite the fact they have no money and can't afford to do much more than walk around together. More of a curiosity in Kurosawa's oeuvre than a substantial work. Japanese with subtitles.
