Uploader's Comments: This is a nice little film with Kato's usual assured direction and playful camera angels. While it takes a while to really get started and can get a bit confusing occasionally, the film just keeps on getting better as it progresses. Recommended if you're into 60s and 70s yakuza films.

Quote:
While this was first planned as one of the early yakuza movies, which has begun to become more popular than samurai films, Kato Tai arranged it to a melodrama with a touch of comedy. Uchida Ryohei was becoming rapidly popular for his original acting style (he's probably most famous for portraying evil characters though). The Osaka Railway Station which appears many times from the beginning of the film is a replica built in the studio of almost the same size as the actually early 1900-structure.
The film furthers Kato's low camera level, long take, depth staging aesthetics w/ densely composed image & superb use of the scope format.
BTW. It is often considered as a yakuza film version of Inagaki/Itami's celebrated Life of Matsu the Untamed (aka The Rickshaw Man) story.
