Largely overlooked today, this was one of the first films made during the Allied occupation after WW2.
Very powerful in its content, it shows the devastation caused by the Atomic bomb, and by use of a fictional storyline, portrays the struggle of the ordinary Japanese people in dealing with the aftermath.
I last saw this film in 1976 and it is still vivid in my memory.
