About Otomebashi
Because there was no bridge over the large river flowing between two villages, the villagers had to rely on a rope to cross, risking their lives each time. One day, a young girl is swept away by the raging current and loses her life…
Directed by Jirô Kawate, Otomebashi leans on a strong ensemble — Naomi Egawa, 姫宮接子, 隅田万寿代 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1936.
