The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Howard Thompson
Even for its brevity, the import remains a long, tedious conversation piece, interspersed with reedy songs and a few interesting, mobile faces. Most of the time the members of the all-male cast sit around on their haunches.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A minor and obscure work by the acclaimed filmmaker.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Akira Kurosawa's slimmest feature, running only an hour, is also one of the best of his early period.
Esquire Magazine
Dwight MacDonald
It has one great actor (Okochi, who plays Benkei) and half a dozen very good ones, and it tells its simple but exciting story with classical economy.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Vigorous conversation about values, peace and war is rich, delightful drama, one of Kurosawa's best and most joyous.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Captivating samurai vaudeville
