IMDb: «The
enigmatic title is explained near the end, which more or less paraphrases "Ol'
Man River" - he just keeps rollin' along, regardless of the follies of man. The
films set in the "turbulent century", and was it ever ! The film's two hours
covers about 70 years, and there's a battle nearly every five minutes. The large
cast of characters, principally of one small family, deal with the age-old
problem of the young getting carried away with war and the older warning them
how futile it all is. There are a number of deaths which coincide closely with
births, and the characters assume they therefore know where the souls have
reincarnated. The war-is-futile message is hammered home without subtlety and,
despite the downtrodden gaining occasional triumphs, it's all very depressing.
The only character who has a good laugh is killed shortly afterwards, and partly
for that reason ! The strange aspect of this film is that it is part-colourized.
In many frames, these are simply large splashes of colour laid-over, and they
look terrible and amateurish. Other frames have more minute and detailed
colorization, which is quite pleasant. But the film would have looked better if
it had stuck to B&W only. The four points I've awarded this film are mainly for
the acting, which is good to great throughout. The oval-faced beauty Hideko
Takamine is very watchable for the first half at least, but has far less to do
than some of her other roles. The actress (name unknown) who plays the
pretend-madwoman Tatsu is a standout...».
