Newly released by Arrow Video, in the Nikkatsu Diamond Guys, vol. 1 set, this mystery by Suzuki was made a few years before he became the experimenter he is best known as today. Still, his talent is quite evident. The direction and cinematography are excellent throughout. I wasn't especially interested in the story of this one, though, and I grew a little bit bored. Hideaki Nitani stars as a newspaper reporter trying to unravel a convoluted murder scheme. Yoko Minamida plays a woman who was a witness - over the phone - to a murder. The main action takes place 3 years later, when that murder comes back to haunt her. Jo Shishido also co-stars.
