No phrase on a talking dog though, so Scooby Doo has Harley beat there. OP Eiga has not attempted to foster a "movement" such as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Pink" (ピンク四天王, pinku shitenno) or "Seven Lucky Gods of Pink" (ピンク七福神, shichifukujin), although, at first of the 21st century, 4 major pink movie directors are related to the company: Yutaka Ikejima, Yumi Yoshiyuki, Minoru Kunizawa, and Tarō Araki. Kyōko Ōgimachi, an actress in Shintōhō's ama films of the 1950s, directed Yakuza Geisha in 1965. However Jasper Sharp studies that a number of pink movie insiders are skeptical of this declare, as Ōgimachi was Mitsugu Ōkura's mistress, and he was identified to deal with her with favoritism. The same 12 months of Shintōhō's demise, Ōkura based the Ōkura Eiga studio. Director Satoru Kobayashi's all-coloration 1963 film, The Mysterious Pearl of the Ama, for example, appears back to Shintōhō's boundary-pushing feminine pearl-diver films of the mid-1950s, starring Michiko Maeda and Yōko Mihara. Kobayashi continued to occasionally make movies on this model for Ōkura as late as 1995 with Erotic Ghost Story: Female Ghost in Heat or Lusty Ghost Story: Rutting Woman Phantom (色欲怪談 発情女ゆうれい, Shikiyoku Kaidan: Hatsujō Onna Yūrei) starring actresses Nao Saejima and Yumi Yoshiyuki, who would grow to be a distinguished pink movie director herself, releasing primarily by means of Ōkura. |
