An often repeated myth is that the production of this film and Godzilla (1954) nearly drove Toho into bankruptcy. This myth neglects to mention a third Toho film made that year, Miyamoto Musashi (1954). All three of these films were the most expensive Japanese films made up until that point and were big financial risks for Toho. However, there is little evidence to suggest that Toho as a company was ever at risk for bankruptcy. The studio released a total of sixty-eight feature films that year, the most successful of which were Seven Samurai, Samurai I, and Godzilla respectively. Regardless of risk, Toho would emerge as the industry leader in Japanese cinema.
