The Actress and the Poet
1935 · 73 MIN · IMDB 6.1 · 123 VOTES · DIR. Mikio Naruse
Overview
Among the tight-knit neighbours are a poet, his actress wife, a bachelor budding author, a tobacco shop owner-cum-landlady, an insurance salesman and his nosy and greedy wife. Enter a young and seemingly high-class couple who just so happens is open to purchasing life insurance from their swift neighbour. In the meantime, life is imitating art across the street, which may end up providing for either a happy ending or a rude split - eventually that is.

00:06:27 It must be hard.
00:09:31 I'll have some, too. If they have them, I'll take a pack of "Bats".
00:14:14 What's going on?
00:16:13 Could you sing it for me?
00:18:37 I'm a writer. Poems and songs. And you might know my wife, Futatsuki Chieko.
00:22:45 At your place?
00:24:38 From what I saw of them, they have a bit of money. Don't you think?

01:02:45 We were really fighting.
01:04:59 Of course, the big difference might be that I don't get the prize in the end.
01:07:30 Yes. You were the reason we fought. Thanks to that
01:10:50 even if it hadn't been theirs for more than a day.
