This was his first major film. A rookie policeman has his gun stolen while traveling on a crowded bus and we go along with him while he scours Tokyo's underworld trying to retrieve it.
Extremely accomplished work with consistently imaginative camera/framing work. Many familiar actors appear who would later become members of his collective...including Takeshi Shimura.
A bit overacted in some scenes but overall this was way ahead of anything that was coming out of Hollywood that year.
