      william d Basically a chick flick: a woman leads a tough life and all the men are despicable (with one prominent exception). However, Hideko Takamine's character of Fumiko is so sympathetic you can't help but pull for her. Takamine is truly a remarkable actress. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hideko Takamine had the sensitivities and toughness to bring an inspiring character alive, she was really natural, her emotional range was superb. Very enjoyable film.

While I loved each of them, this film was of the most remarkable. The emotional current had a much greater range than in many of his other films.
