Plot
Part 7 in the Gambling Den series This time Koji Tsuruta is a gambler who feels sympathetic towards a woman whose naive husband is driven to a debt trap by a rotten gambling den owner Tatsuo Endo and his dishonest card dealer Isamu Nagato The plot is standard stuff and features too much talk but theres also a decent balance between melodrama and lyricism in the form and storytelling Tsuruta was a perfect fit for these kind of roles with the stoic and emotional sides nicely mixed in his screen persona
