Saturday, Jan. 26 Double Feature! Three Resurrected Drunkards

Three Resurrected Drunkards (1968) Kaette kita yopparai (original title)

The film stars short-lived musical trio The Folk Crusaders- Kazuhiko Kato ("The Big One"), Osamu Kitayama ("The Small One"), and Norihiko Hashida ("The Smallest One")- as a group of whimsical Beatles-ish buddies whose lighthearted lifestyle is shaken up when they're mistaken for wanted Korean refugees avoiding military duty in the war.

The boys evade the police but are later found by the Koreans themselves, who intend to shoot them down in their soldier and student uniforms so they (the Korean runaways) will be thought dead themselves. With the help of an unhappily married lady, our heroes evade death for a while, and eventually just rewind to start from the beginning again knowing what they know now.
