Schlagworte:
October 1986: first visit of Ulrich and Erika Gregor to Tokyo; among the first Japanese films were THE EMPEROR'S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON and ROBINSON'S GARDEN; film screenings without subtitles and without database; filling out Forum submission forms with typewriter and sending them by fax; why THE EMPEROR'S NAKED ARMY MARCHES ON caused a scandal for Japanese audiences.
