The Bad Sleep Well

At his wedding reception, Kôichi Nishi (Toshirō Mifune) watches the cake come out as a replica of his employer's headquarters, with one detail that makes the guests go quiet over a death the company buried. Nishi has risen high in the corporation and married Yoshiko (Kyōko Kagawa), Vice President Iwabuchi's daughter, and Akira Kurosawa lets that marriage be both his cover and his reason. Yoshiko trusts the man she married, and he is slowly using her.
