Description
The only completely preserved silent film directed by Daisuke Ito, this film relates the life of a legendary thief, Jirokichi the Rat in an exquisite original story and through the revolutionary use of dynamic intertitles. The skilful benshi narration featuring a mixture of Edo dialect and Kansai dialect is highly entertaining.
