Dragnet Girl: Here we have another of Yasujiro Ozu's silent films. Unlike Days of Youth, which was entertaining and interesting, this film seemed to be dull and uninteresting.

The real problem, however, is something that is perhaps not the fault of Ozu but the fault of Panorama. Like Days of Youth this film is presented on DVD without musical accompaniment.
Music in a silent movie is something like mustard on a bologna sandwich; you don't notice it unless it's gone. This is quite unfortunate as the film may be quite good but I know I had a hard time sitting through it.
