MOVIE SYNOPSIS - Where can I watch it and what's the story of this 1968 film?

With his penultimate film, Uchida revisited one of his popular prewar titles, 1936's Theatre of Life, an adaptation of Shiro Ozaki's eponymous novel. Three-time Seijun Suzuki collaborator Goro Tanada wrote a gangsterized adaptation of Ozaki's story for Uchida at a time when the yakuza had eclipsed the samurai genre as Toei's main cash crop. Protagonist Hishakaku murders a man in a quarrel over a barmaid and goes to jail. In his temporary absence, his girlfriend Otoyo, a former geisha, falls for Hishakaku's brother, inciting a dangerous love triangle that, in typical yakuza fashion, ends tragically.
