Died in 1969

Mikio Naruse was born on 20 August 1905 in Tokyo. He joined Shōchiku in the twenties and made his debut as a director there at the end of the silent era, in the early thirties. Dissatisfied with his working conditions, he then moved to P.C.L., which was to become Tōhō. Most of his films have a woman as their main character, struggling with her family and the customs of her milieu. He died in Tokyo on 2 July 1969.
