The Eleventh Hour 1957
Adapted from a 1956 NHK television feature, this rare Tadashi Uchida film offers a socially conscious drama set in contemporary Japan. It follows the desperate rescue attempts of miners trapped underground, with the title serving as a metaphor for a last‑minute, perilous situation. The screenplay was co‑written by Uchida and Shinobu Hashimoto, a frequent Akira Kurosawa collaborator, and it stars Takashi Shimura, a regular in Kurosawa’s works.
