The Bad Sleep Well (1960)
Kurosawa’s film about corruption and misuse of government funds is well done. In the storyline, there are parallels to Halmet, though I only noticed this after reading other analysis of the film online. Mifune again plays Kurosawa’s protagonist, but this time with a suit, tie and spectacles. Though otherwise entertaining, it does feels preachy at moments when dealing with the corruption which is being hidden through hierarchy and suicides of underlings.
