As suggested by the title, this film takes up the theme of the city, beginning with a series of traveling shots from Chiyo's point o view on a bus leaving the countryside and entering the metropolitan cityscape. After some fruitless job hunting in downtown Tokyo, Chiyo accepts a job as a bar hostess in Shiba ward. Well away from glamorous Asakusa and Ginza, this is a neighborhood bar where the women are dirt poor, each having only one kimono to their name.... (KG)

A solid if unremarkable drama brought down a bit by the cop out ending. Still worth a watch though.

A below average story from Mikio Naruse. It follows the familiar theme of a country girl going to the big city and finds work as an hostess. It's really only half a story. The girl aware that hostesses easily become bad is careful to not let that happen to her. The drama is a real cheater from Naruse, but in a way it had to be with the intensity of her lover coming out of nowhere and so out of reality the way it came. And then life continues none the wiser....
