Interesting facts
Mother and Son is a 1955 Japanese drama film directed by Ishirō Honda and produced by Toho.
Production
Director Ishiro Honda was originally scheduled to shoot Half Human (1955), but as special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya was busy on Godzilla Raids Again (1955), filming was halted and Honda proceeded with directing Mother and Son.
Toho Producer Iwao Mori encouraged Honda to make a film targeted at women, taking inspiration from Shinpa. Screenwriter Dai Nishijima adapted the story from a Shinpa stage play. Yaeko Mizutani (Oen) had begun acting in the 1920s in Shinpa theater and silent films.
