If you loved That Night's Wife, try Dragnet Girl
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
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.
