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.

His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy.

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.。14世纪的朝鲜村庄里，素来有“不可杀”的传说。暴君当政，下令收集民间铁器制造兵器，农民们没了生产物资根本无法生存，村里的老铁匠因为擅自把铁器还给农民，自己被官兵投进大牢。老铁匠在牢里绝食，临死前用泥土和打翻的饭菜捏了一个玩偶，悲痛的女儿将玩偶拿回家，做针线活时不小心刺破手指，血滴在上面，玩偶活了起来。小东西吃铁为生，越长越大，铁匠一双儿女知道，这就父亲常讲的“不可杀”。“不可杀”长成一头巨兽，受姐姐驱使，在农民起义中帮助村人对付官兵，成了农民们的致胜法宝，不过迎来和平的村民发现，已经没有足够的铁供应给“不可杀”当食物，它会吃掉他们所有的劳作工具。英雄成了隐患，为了村民们的生存，姐姐流着眼泪挺身而出，献出自己的生命和“不可杀”同归于尽。。
