Collector’s Death May Free Long-Lost Korean Classic Film
Evidently 50,000 films were found in this collection.
TOKYO - The death of a Japanese film collector Abe Yoshishige, could yield vital clues to the whereabouts of a surviving copy of director Na Un-gyu's classic 1926 film "Arirang", believed lost in the Korean War.
Abe made contradictory promises to return the film "if North and South Korea agree,” "if the two Koreas unify," and "if the president formally asks the emperor to return the film."
