Featured review
Light-weight comedy with some musical numbers
"Gyudarê chôtokyu" (The Cattle Comes by Super Express, 1937) is a folksy comedy by Toho studios house director Otani Toshio, starring Watanabe Atsushi and Kishii Akira. The film features a rural setting and a limited cast of characters. The protagonists are two buddies who make a living by transporting goods on a cargo train. Their friends are farmers and other people who produce food. The loose narrative concerns their lives and loves, troubles and tribulations, and also their run-ins with the authorities.
The story isn't much, and the comedy was probably targeted for kids to enjoy. There are plenty of musical numbers, which are also forgettable. Probably this film was made fast with a small budget, with the key demographic probably being audiences in rural communities such as the one depicted in the film. For modern audiences, not very interesting.
