While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born.

He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。改编自美国J.凯恩的小说《邮差总按二次铃》，完成于1941年，在剧本必须由法西斯政府审查的拍摄条件下，维斯康提把这个通奸谋杀亲夫的畸恋故事，拍成充满绝望宿命气息的作品。 片中一方面是出身贫家的女主角，身不由己嫁给肥胖粗俗的酒店老板，她完全没有逃脱被豢养（并不时被羞辱）生活的勇气，而男主角则是个流浪的无业游民，他经不起女主角的诱惑，犯下致命的罪行，艰困的社会生活条件，明确烘托出男女主角各自别无选择、一拍即合的宿命孽缘。初执导演筒的维斯康提，在片中已经展现他后期作品中最大的特色：对人物不克自拔情欲心理的细腻描画，在饮食间两性对对方身体的凝视中，维斯康提把艰困的物质生活和不受拘束的内心肉欲作了明确的并列，弥补了通奸过程的简略。。
