I was looking at a site where somebody had posted a link to this as a download, and it made me wonder if it was public domain. Looking at another site today, I discovered it was.

Google Video has
looooooong videos, and sure enough, someone already posted the entire film in its entirety.
The venerable
Archive.org has it in a downloadable version, for those of you who wish to migrate it somewhere else.
Wonderfully enough,
they also have the story (in Japanese) by
Ryunosuke Akutagawa. A chap has
translated it into English here.The remake is also great...
The OutrageWith Paul Newman as a Mexican Mifune
Shatner.... as... a.... minister
Edward G. Robinson as a swindler
Laurence Harvey (
Domino's Dad!) as the objectively conflicted husband

NOT ON DVD - why?!?!
