Synopsis by Robert Firsching
This softcore pinku eiga melodrama from Nikkatsu in-house luminary Chusei Sone concerns a married woman (Junko Myashita) whose husband's infidelity drives her to sleep with both of her sisters' lovers. Kazuko Shirakawa, in one of her final appearances before her highly publicized wedding, plays the combative mistress who convinces the heroine that her marriage has come to an end. Keiko Aikawa co-stars in this rather uninspiring effort from Sone, who established a reputation as one of the studio's best filmmakers based primarily on the early and late periods of his career, with a vast, unimpressive mid-career slump represented by films like this one.
