A jeweler hires detective Akechi to find his daughter kidnapped by a famous thief known as the Black Lizard.

IMDB

Not to be confused with Kinji Fukusaku's BLACK LIZARD (a slightly inferior effort), this earlier version, directed by Umeji Inoue, is groundbreaking for its brilliant use of theatrical-style lighting and sensational dance choreography.

Based on a novel by Japan's master of suspense, Edogawa Rampo, this is a fascinating suspenser about an androgynous jewel thief.

Much of the film takes place on sets, rendering many sequences strangely artificial but richly surreal.

Toshiro Mayuzumi's score is so original it's scandalous, and Yoshihasa Nakagawa's photography is simply breathtaking.

Fukusaku's version, also very good, lacks the stylization of this original adaptation of Rampo's novel probably because the subject matter was not Fukusaku's traditional bag.
