Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Another entertaining softcore melodrama from World Eiga contract director Toshio Okuwaki, this gritty pinku-eiga roughie is reminiscent of a cheap Japanese film noir with extra skin, but maintains interest despite its seediness. Noriko Tatsumi (who was in Okuwaki's Climax the same year) plays a nightclub stripper whose loyalties are divided between her gangster boss and a detective who falls for Tatsumi while investigating her boss. Not a bad timekiller, with cult superstar Naomi Tani around to fill the slow spots.
