A bar hostess approaching middle age has a young child to support and an ex-husband who frequently needs money. She believes in marriage but is cynical about men. She seeks a rich patron for the faltering bar she works in but must then contend with unwelcome sexual advances. Meanwhile, she must manage her active young boy. When an attractive and kind young man enters the picture, introduced by a flirty friend, she thinks she may have found her way out of Ginza bar life. However, it is not to be. (imdb)

Really subdued in it's formality and story which I think brings it down. Interesting stuff about class and womanhood.

To me the characters were stronger than your average Mikio Naruse domestic drama. But it was another script with a rather thin plot. Sure, there is a story there, but anything good was simply the characters interacting, and not so much where they were going with this. Kinuyo Tanaka was the rock of Ginza keshô.
