繁體中文

若杉光夫是日本導演,1922年生於九州大分縣,畢業於別府市立別府中學及京都帝國大學法律系。1947年他通過助導招募考試加入大映京都片場,曾跟隨丸根贊太郎、黑澤明等導演,並與同期的加藤泰分別擔任《羅生門》(黑澤明,1950)的第一與第二副導演。1950年9月,他在日本電影界「赤色狩獵」的風潮中與加藤泰一同辭職,轉投文藝劇團從事舞台工作,後參與創辦民藝映畫社,兼顧電影、電視與舞台劇導演。1952年他首次執導電影《沒有母親的孩子和沒有孩子的母親》,兩年後與舞台劇女星南風洋子結婚。他的作品包括《為你奉獻生命》(1953)、《唐人阿吉》(1954)、濱田光夫主演的《石合戰》(1955)、吉永小百合主演的《玻璃中的少女》(1960)及山口百惠主演的《逝風殘夢》(1976),並曾為西河克己導演的《新伊豆舞孃》(1974)編劇。1957年,經新東寶董事長服部知祥介紹,他隨攝影師西本正到邵氏父子有限公司拍攝港韓合作的伊士曼彩色愛情片《異國情鴛》(屠光啟、全昌根合導,1958),成為第一位效力邵氏的日本導演;因韓國李承晚政府反日,他被勸改用中文名華克毅。留港期間,他應女星山口淑子(李香蘭)點名執導黑白懸疑動作片《神秘美人》(1957),對這段香港拍片經歷甚為回味,卻不滿片場中階級懸殊的現象。1972年他憑《女子們站起來》獲蘇聯電影人同盟獎,一生執導影片五十多部,最後一部是1987年的《星星牧場》;其作風嚴肅,影片經常流露對社會不平的憤怒,以及對人性真誠的熱愛。他於2008年12月18日逝世。

English

Mitsuo Wakasugi was a Japanese film director born in Oita, Kyushu, in 1922. He studied at Beppu Municipal Middle School and read law at Kyoto Imperial University. In 1947 he passed an assistant-director recruitment exam and joined Daiei's Kyoto studio, working under directors such as Marune Santaro and Akira Kurosawa; on Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950) he was first assistant director while his contemporary Tai Kato was second. In September 1950, caught up in the Japanese film industry's 'Red Purge', he resigned with Kato and turned to the theatre, later helping to found the Mingei Eiga company and working across film, television and stage. He directed his first film, about motherless children, in 1952, and two years later married the stage actress Yoko Minakaze. Among his more than fifty films are a 1953 drama dedicated to a life given for others, Tojin Aki (1954), Ishigassen (1955) starring Mitsuo Hamada, and a 1960 film starring Sayuri Yoshinaga; he also wrote the screenplay for Kei Nishikawa's new version of The Izu Dancer (1974). In 1957 he went with cinematographer Nishi Moto to Shaw and Sons in Hong Kong to shoot a Hong Kong-Korean Eastmancolor romance (1958). Regarded as the first Japanese director to work for Shaw, he was advised to adopt the Chinese name Wah Hak-ngai because of anti-Japanese feeling in South Korea, and during his Hong Kong stay he directed a black-and-white suspense thriller (1957) at the request of the star Yoshiko Yamaguchi (Li Xianglan). Serious in manner, his films often express anger at social injustice and a sincere love of humanity. He won a Soviet filmmakers' union award in 1972, and his last film was Star Ranch in 1987. He died on 18 December 2008.
