Notes
  • Release date: 05/18/1960.
  • Literal title translation: A man blown by the wind.
  • Audie Bock comments that "Masumura's twelfth film fits squarely into the New Wave phenomenon with a fast-moving but nearly incomprehensible plot and talent from outside the established movie world such as novelist Mishima Yukio. A satirical look at the yakuza world before the genre of gangster films became formula, this film provides memorable off-beat locations in a merry-go-round love scene and an escalator death scene, along with the freshness of Mishima in a leather jacket, Shimura Takashi in total-body tattoos, and Wakao Ayako as a sweet young thing."
