YURI DUTY

Yamashina gets dripping wet.

Here’s another movie we haven’t seen. Are you sensing a theme lately? We have too many of these Japanese images to actually seek out and watch all the films, so we’ve decided to focus on the art. This piece promotes Hanayome wa nureteita, aka The Bride Was Wet, with Yuri Yamashina, and below you see her in several promo images we dug up. We learned from checking other sites that the movie has a Yakuza subplot to go along with its wet bride, so really, how can it miss? If we ever find a copy of the film we’ll revisit the subject. Hanayome wa nureteita premiered today in 1974. That’s the same date as the movie below and in fact the two played as halves of a double feature in many cinemas.
