Ticklish Business: High and Low (1963) with Scott McGee

Our international month tribute to Akira Kurosawa closes out with this slick 1960s police drama

In my free time I host a classic film podcast called Ticklish Business and, in the interest of spreading my love of classic film, I’ll be including episodes here for your listening enjoyment. You can listen to Ticklish Business via Spotify and Apple Podcasts. You can also subscribe to our Patreon where we have bonus episodes and more.

International Month comes to a close with a look at Akira Kurosawa's contemporary noir feature High and Low! And who better to join us than TCM producer and author Scott McGee. Scott joins Kristen and Emily to talk about this morality tale, its connections to today's society, and what the "right type" of wealthy man can look like.
