[Machine Translation] Masterpiece of Shigeru Amachi, one of the leading actors of New Toho, is now available on DVD in 2-in-1 format! The Star Poisoning Case" is a murder drama about a man who is the star of the show. A silver screen tragedy of murderous intent and passion! A unique thriller that mixes truth and falsehood to depict a love-hate relationship that ends in murder in a movie studio. Shigeru Amachi gives a brilliant performance as a man whose obsession leads him to madness. A rare opportunity to see different types of Amachi in one film. This is the first starring role for Masayo Banri, one of the "New Toho's 2 great glamour" actresses, who plays a woman whose personality is transformed into an ugly one. Of course, Yoko Mihara also co-stars. The film is directed by Nagayoshi Akasaka, who wrote many screenplays for films by Koji Shima and Nobuo Nakagawa, and directed National Kid after leaving New Toho. In addition, music by Watanabe Hiroaki enlivens the film at key points. Many veteran actors make cameo appearances in the studio scenes. Carbine of Fear" depicts the desperate escape of a cornered carbine gang in 16 days! A semi-documentary depicting the desperate escape of a cornered carbine gun gang! The film depicts a real-life carbine gun gang incident with a documentary touch, and marks the impressive debut of Shigeru Amachi in his first leading role. The main suspect's mistress is Yoko Mihara, a fellow New Toho starlet from the first term. This was also Mihara's first film in a leading role. In addition to the fact that this was a robbery-abduction case involving the use of firearms, which was rare at the time, the fact that the film was released about half a month after the arrest of the perpetrator also attracted attention. The film skillfully uses actual news footage to create a tense atmosphere.
