Review by Robert Firsching

This lurid addition to Nikkatsu's prodigious output of softcore pinku-eiga roughies tells the familiar tale of a small-town girl (Ranfran Ou) who travels to the big city and becomes sucked into the world of gangsters and prostitution. Co-starring Jo Shishido from Nikutai No Mon, the film is noteworthy only for its supporting cast, featuring some of the studio's best-known crime-movie stars. Ichiro Sugai, Seizaburo Kawazu, and Kenji Sugawara all must have wondered what they were doing in a sleazefest like this, but bring off the minimal requirements imposed by director Kan Yanase admirably.
