Overview
In postwar Tokyo, a blunt, alcohol-soaked doctor diagnoses a swaggering young yakuza with tuberculosis, forging an uneasy bond that’s tested when the gangster’s ruthless former boss returns and drags him back toward the swampy underworld he can’t escape.

Viewing Notes
Fourth film in my Thanksgiving Kurosawa project. Seriously love this movie. Mifune has never looked more handsome. Genuinely appreciate the bond his character and Sanada (Takashi Shimura) form, two characters that despise each other but need each other. Marvelous film.
