- Rarely screened in the UK, the 1939 Japanese musical comedy 'Singing Lovebirds' is an effortlessly delightful viewing experience: breezy, lighthearted, full of verve, charm and invention. Daughter of a former Ronin (masterless samurai), Oharu (Haruyo Ichikawa) is in love with Reisaburo Asai (Chiezô Kataoka), another Ronin who lives next door. But she faces steep romantic competition from two other local admirers - and matters are complicated further when her father (Takashi Shimura), finding himself deeply in debt to the local lord, fears he might have to sell her to pay it off…
