The famous stories of Akutagawa were adapted for Broadway for Claire Bloom Rod Steiger Akim Tamiroff and Oscar Homolka. The wife of a Samurai officer is assaulted and her husband killed by a roving bandit. Contradictory versions of what happened are reenacted at the trial by the bandit the wife and the dead husband who speaks through a sorceress. Each version is true in its fashion.
