What happens

War and Peace (戰爭と平和, Sensō to heiwa), also translated as Between War and Peace, is a 1947 drama film co-directed by Fumio Kamei and Satsuo Yamamoto. It was based on the 1911 film Enoch Arden directed by D.W. Griffith. The film was criticized as a vehicle for "Communist propaganda lines" when submitted to the Civil Censorship Department, and several sequences were cut from the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
