Gambler's Code - Loyalty Offering

Gambler's Code - Loyalty Offering

1970 · 87 min · Crime

A fairly entertaining yarn told in somewhat broad strokes with Wakayama playing against type as a reformed-gambler-turned- Christian minister. Of course, before the tale is finished he is forced by the utterly nefarious, heinous villains to once again pick up a sword and join fellow anti-hero Sugawara in wiping out Evil.

Directed by Kiyoshi Saeki · Written by Morimasa Owaku
