Shigeyoshi Suzuki: What made her do it? (1930) Movies

Posted by mal11lam at Feb. 26, 2010

"Nani Ga Kanojo O So Saseta Ka", that is to say, "What Made Her To Do It?" is an excellent silent Japanese movie. It is a masterpiece film directed in the year 1930 by Herr Shigeyoshi Suzuki, an unknown film director for this German Count. His name deserves to be written down in the Teutonic crocodile leather agenda as one of those exotic directors that deserves more aristocratic attention and interest from now on.
