NOTES B/W

The film length of 150 minutes is the director's cut.

A gangster (Mifune) has tubercolosis and is being treated by a doctor who though sympathetic has a sharp tongue. The gangster's pride doesn't make things any easier. There is further upset when another gangster is released from prison
