incomplete cast listing


I had a quandary about the actor who played the police detective; I'd swear that it was Seiji Miyaguchi (a.k.a. the "cool" Samurai of the Seven). Elaborating on that, I mentally counted more actors in Tokyo Twilight than are listed in the cast (both here and on the Eclipse DVD box). Maybe I'll find an answer over at the Criterion Collection navel-gazers board? ;-?

Hi CounterPaul,
I just watched the Criterion version, and the English subtitle does cover the first twenty of the forty-seven actors listed, and Seiji Miyaguchi is the twelfth. (The box covers up to eleventh!) He is indeed the cop with the mask.

Why were people wearing masks there in 1977?
