Aroview: The film that made Toshiro Mifune a star - playing a petty gangster with TB, who turns to an alcoholic doctor for help after a shoot-out. Played out in the vivid setting of a mosquito-infested swamp in a backwater of Tokyo, this also provides an underlying commentary on the 'sickness' of post-War Japan.
