The Adventures of Sun Wu Kung

Directed by Kajirō Yamamoto

With Norihei Miki, Reiko Dan, Yasuko Nakada, Kaoru Yachigusa and Nobuo Chiba

The mythical adventures of the legendary Chinese trickster Monkey, who must outwit a variety of wily demons who stand in the way of him and his fellow Buddhist travelers. Though portrayed as a literal, if rather anthropomorphized, monkey in the original legends, this film substitutes the spindly comic actor Norihei Miki, sans makeup.
