Three years after the filming of "Let's Go Happy", the Japanese's enthusiasm for gangster romance films has not diminished. If Ozu touches this genre again, his mentality and skills are different from before. The characters 'emotions have become complex and sad. The arrangement of every scene and object in the picture is full of ingenuity. Continuing the role of the previous film, it talks about the love and hatred between a gang boss and two women, one good and one bad. However, this time, the gang and the bad woman attracted the good woman, and the gang did not abandon the bad woman in the end. Perhaps in order to increase the persuasiveness of the plot, Ozu hired Sairo Tanaka to be the female lead. The bad girl is indeed subtle and sometimes even more pitiful. Unfortunately, Sairo had just performed "Izu Dancer", which was deeply popular among the people, and her image of a bad woman was not accepted by the audience at that time. Ozu plays the gangster genre to perfection, and many people think this is the pinnacle of his silent films. (27th Hong Kong International Film Festival)
