Rashomon is a 1960 American television play based on a stage version of the 1950 Japanese film of the same name. It was directed by Sidney Lumet and aired as an episode of Play of the Week.[1] The story had been adapted on Broadway in 1959 starring Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom. Only Oskar Homolka returned from the Broadway production.
Reception
The New York Times said the episode "is characteristic of the program's distinction, something different for the theatre and certainly something unduplicated on TV."[2] The Los Angeles Times called it "remarkable... splendid."[3]
