The Quiet Duel

Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki (Toshirō Mifune), a young army surgeon, wants to be a good doctor and a good husband, but a cut during a wartime field operation leaves him with syphilis. Back at his father's clinic, he treats himself in secret and tells his fiancée Misao (Miki Sanjō) nothing, only that the engagement is over. Akira Kurosawa puts at risk her future and the man's own career, and the one person who could clear it up is the patient who infected him.
