Chūkon giretsu: Jitsuroku Chūshingura (忠魂義烈 実録忠臣蔵, Heroism of the Faithful Dead: True Testament of the Chūshingura) is a 1928 Japanese black-and-white silent film with benshi accompaniment directed by Shozo Makino. It was an epic created to commemorate Makino's 50th birthday and is based on the classic theme of the Chūshingura. During the production of this film, a fire broke out, destroying parts of the original film, but it has since been restored.
