Interesting trivia about the American release of this movie.
Added DiffLines:
* MediaWatchdog: Apparently, when the movie came over to the United States in the 60's, American censors had a problem with the opening scene: A single shot of a panting dog with the credits overlaid on top of it. They thought that the dog had been wounded and disapproved of the supposed animal cruelty. Kurosawa was so frustrated with this censorship, it's said that he remarked this was the only time he wished Japan had won World War 2.
