Gangster film about the love-hate relationship between a cop and a criminal who were childhood friends. Its taut, terse style demonstrates a Western influence typical of Japan’s late silent cinema, and Uchida directs with a vitality and vehemence that brings to mind Howard Hawks and Fritz Lang. The film, which appeared against a background of real-life anxieties driven by gang violence in Tokyo, was endorsed by the city’s police force at the time of its release.   

DVD-R has Japanese intertitles with hard-encoded English subtitles.  Approx. 91 mins.  See film samples for sound and video quality!
