settima#Bales2025FilmChallenge of November 6: a movie that makes you want to travel
有りがたうさん [Arigatō-san / Mr. Thank You] (Hiroshi Shimizu, 1936)
Friendly and helpful, Arigatō-san (Ken Uehara) is there for his passengers and non-bus travellers alike. A sweet roadmovie from a Japan now lost to time.

Jonathan EmmesediMichiko Kuwano
Michiko Kuwano appeared in numerous Japanese films in the thirties and forties. She was only 31 when she collapsed and died on set in 1946.
I first noticed her in Hiroshi Shimizu's charming 1936 "Mr Thank You".
