...Sleep Well. The bribe is a dominant fact of business life in Japan, and the fiscal scandal is a frequent feature of the public prints. To this situation Akira Kurosawa, a superb director with a burning concern for social problems (Ikirn), addresses himself in this angry, ironic, sometimes unfair but always violently exciting study of corruption in high places. His story is circumstantial, but his theme is universal: turn the rascals out! A scandal breaks. The subsidiaries of a construction trust are accused of rigging bids on government contracts.

...Hagen, a superb actress who has in the past not fared so well as she deserved, tears with relish into the juicy role of the earthy, vulgar, oversexed wife once driven to make incestuous advances to her son. It is a part of enormous advances to her son. It is a part of enormous range, and Miss Hagen is into every nuance of it.
