Hideko Takamine movie screenshots #2

 Two more movie screenshots of Hideko here, first one is a real oldie from 1941 and is called
Hideko the Bus Conductress and was written and directed by Naruse. Though it was a bit light hearted also showed how badly the people were living at the time with much poverty as most of the funds were going to the war effort, read once that it was shocking the government actually allowed this film to be released, in this Hideko was only 17 plus it being so old and obscure the quality of the film was not so great.


 And from many years later here's Hideko in another Naruse film called Lonely Lane which was released in 1962, this film reminded me so much of Arakure. After that year Hideko slowed down quite a bit as far as appearing in films and not sure why, she still popular at the time and when this film was released she was still only 38 and was still a beautiful woman.
