I saw this when I lived in New York. It was wide-screen and cinemascope, and was shown at the Japan Society in a series. It was about a unscrupulous girl who marries a man with a birthmark and claws her way to the top. Every scene was just right, including the incredible finale. Although I tried to convince other movie buffs to go to the second screening, the prospect of a Saturday morning movie was just too much for them. I went, though. Sort of like Fritz Lang or Ophuls in Japan. Gorgeous. My first choice for what I'd love to show on video or DVD (in widescreen, of course).
