Notes
  • English titles: A lady pickpocket; The woman who touched legs.
  • Audie Bock comments that, "Masumura's 14th film is the second remake of the 1926 film of the same title by Abe Yutaka, who is credited with introducing the American modernism he learned in Hollywood to the Japanese silent film. Ichikawa Kon (q.v.), a prewar disciple of Abe's, rewrote and directed the original as a black-and-white sound film for Tōhō in 1952, adding the motive for the heroine's trip to Tōkyō. Masumura, who was in turn a disciple of Ichikawa's at Daiei, further added to the tradition of updating by making this color, 'scope version using the script by Mr. and Mrs. (Wada) Ichikawa. It is not Masumura's best film, but is nonetheless an amusing commentary on contemporary Japanese society."
