REVENGE OF THE PEARL QUEEN
(1956) dir Toshio Shimura w/Michiko Maeda, Ken Utsui, Shigeru Amachi, Saburo Sawai, Susumu Fujita [90 min; Digital; in Japanese w/English subtitles]
When Shintoho's voluptuous new discovery Michiko Maeda undressed for REVENGE OF THE PEARL QUEEN, she hit the screens with a seismic force, and a new star was born. The film begins with a young trading company employee seeing his girlfriend, Natsuki (Maeda) off on a voyage to the U.S., but she ends up falling overboard to escape a would-be rapist. When we next see her, she is on a tropical beach, prostrate with exhaustion, being revived by five male castaways. Diving off the coast, Natsuki discovers enough pearls to make her fortune.
