When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
Mikio Naruse makes a drama about a woman in the working world that makes most American 'women's pictures' pale in comparison. Hideko Takamine is simply amazing as a Ginza bar hostess caught in a bind between avaricious landlords and pushy customers. With Tatsuya Nakadai. Criterion.
