A 74-minute time capsule of 1960s corporate Japan you didn't know you needed.
1962 Japanese movie
Production
Cramped office sets that suffocate you with fluorescent dread.
Acting
Jun Funato's thousand-yard stare of a man who's seen too many memos.
Director
Eiji Iwaki
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of Toho's 'Salaryman' series chronicling Japan's post-war corporate culture explosion. The 'New Salaryman' label signaled a darker, more psychologically complex take than earlier comedies.
Director Eiji Iwaki vanished from credits after 1965; this survives as possibly his most accessible work. Kenji Sahara would soon become a Godzilla franchise regular.
