I seem to remember seeing the original film version of Tanizaki's novel 
_Sasameyuki_ (_The Makioka Sisters_) in the 60's. So it's not the Kon 
Ichikawa version of '83, http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0086242/ .

Does anyone know the director, the year it was made, and where I could buy 
the video/DVD? Or rent it by mail in the U.S.? Japanese language only would 
be OK, but English subtitles would be a plus so I could show it to friends. 
I'm in the U.S. now.

Thanks,

Jack Crane
