SHINJITSU ICHIRO
(Truth, the Only Way)
A NIKKATSU PICTURE
This is a long film play, in two parts, which is based on the novel by YCizo Yamamoto, a representative author of the realm of contemporary Japanese literature. The scenario is by Yoshio Aramaki and the direction by Tomotaka Tasaka, both of which have turned cut to be something far from brilliant. But in point of conveying, via the screen, the humanistic ideology of the novel, it is being highly commented upon.
Gihei Mcrikawa, a middle-aged office clerk, is a man of integrity, faithful and sincere. He is living a modest life with his young daughter Shizttko and his little boy Yoshio. Yoshio is a nervous child, sensitive and easily affected. He cherishes a loving memory of his mother who, he thinks, is dead — -or so he has been led to believe by his father — but who is actually living. Mutsuko, the mother, deserted the family about fifteen years ago. She is now the mistress of a bar of questionable reputation and living with her young lover.
They are all good people, with a plenitude of affection. Mutsuko’s brother Soko, an artist, strives to bring about a reconciliation, partly succeeding in the attempt. Nevertheless, they all live in a different world of their own, and so long as they remain faithful to their own ideals and convictions, it is inevitable that they should go their separate ways. Since they each love the truth as each conceives it. these people are not destined for that happy, tranquil life which they might otherwise achieve. Yet the human character of their beliefs is much the more valuable than the happiness of a commonplace home.
