Scriptwriter and film director. His real name was Yoshitoyo Ikeuchi. He was born on January 2, 1900 in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. He graduated from Matsuyama Middle School. He briefly worked as an illustrator, but then entered the film industry at the urging of his middle school classmate Daisuke Ito. He joined Nikkatsu in 1927 (Showa 2), and moved to Chiezo Productions the following year, becoming a director with "Ada Uchiruten." He introduced satirical fantasy to period dramas with "Kokushi Musou" (1932), which became his breakthrough work. In "Budo Taikan" (1934), "Chuji Uridashi," "Sengoku Kitan: Whimsical Crown Prince" (1935), and "Akanishi Kaita" (1936), he used a civic humanitarianism to humor the martial spirit of period dramas. This style of writing was considered intelligent and fresh in the 1930s, and he was considered a pioneer in the innovation of period dramas. In 1937 he released the Japanese-German co-production Atarashiki Tsuchi (New Earth). The following year he directed Kyojin Den (The Legend of the Giants), after which he was forced to fight an illness. From then on he devoted himself to writing screenplays for Muhomatsu no Isshou (The Life of a Outlaw Matsu) and Te wo Tsunagu Kotora (Children Holding Hands), as well as writing film theory and social criticism. He passed away on September 21, 1946. The film director and actor Itami Juzo is his eldest son.

シナリオ作家、映画監督。本名池内義豊。明治33年1月2日愛媛県松山市に生まれる。松山中学卒業。一時挿絵画家となったが、中学の同窓生伊藤大輔(だいすけ)の勧めで映画界に入る。1927年(昭和2)日活入社、翌年千恵蔵プロへ転じ、『仇討流転(あだうちるてん)』で監督となる。『国士無双』(1932)で時代劇に風刺的なファンタジーを導入、出世作となる。『武道大鑑』(1934)、『忠次売出す』『戦国奇譚(きたん) 気まぐれ冠者』(1935)、『赤西蠣太(あかにしかきた)』(1936)などでは、市民的な人道主義によって時代劇の武張った精神を諧謔(かいぎゃく)化した。こうした作風は1930年代においては知的で新鮮であり、時代劇革新の旗手とみなされた。1937年に日本・ドイツ合作映画『新しき土』を発表。翌年『巨人伝』監督後、闘病生活を余儀なくされる。以後『無法松の一生』や『手をつなぐ子等(ら)』のシナリオ執筆や映画論、社会批評など著述に専心した。昭和21年9月21日死去。映画監督であり、俳優の伊丹十三(じゅうぞう)はその長男である。 [千葉伸夫] 資料 監督作品一覧仇討流転(1928) 『『伊丹万作全集』全3巻(1961・筑摩書房)』 [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
