About Uniform Blackmailer
An older woman is approached with an offer to marry a wealthy company president, even though she is the second wife. If she accepts, the company will arrange a luxury apartment for her sister and her husband, and the husband will also be a company executive, and the woman decides to accept the offer. One day, the woman is attacked by a group of three men and raped in the street, but a photo of the incident is taken by a young boy who happens to be a factory worker. The boy uses the photo to blackmail the woman, and plans to escape from his poor life if he can get money...
Directed by Kiyoshi Nakayama, Uniform Blackmailer leans on a strong ensemble — Yoko Taniguchi, Timmy Sugimoto, Mimi Sawaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1979.
