If you loved That Night's Wife, try Dragnet Girl
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to That Night's Wife, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dragnet Girl is
Ozu does his version of a gangster picture, which is to say, not very gangsterish. A yakuza tough falls for a virginal office worker, much to the chagrin of his gun moll. It's less about the crime than the emotional havoc wreaked.
