| Overview: | This wildly melodramatic tale of a kabuki female impersonator who exacts a long-delayed revenge on the men who drove his parents to suicide is played out against a backdrop of comic rivalries between thieves in the Tokyo underworld. Kazuo Hasegawa plays the dual role of the actor and the thief in a film which celebrates his 300th screen appearance.
A heady mixture of swooning romanticism and stylized action, with a soundtrack that ranges from traditional Japanese music to lush Hollywood strings and cocktail jazz, "An Actor's Revenge" is a cinematic tour de force.
