About Twice on a Certain Night
Poor social conditions badly affect the relationship between a married couple, when the husband, who is desperately searching for work, fails to notice the terrible sacrifices made by his wife when she accepts a job at a local inn.
Directed by Heinosuke Gosho, Twice on a Certain Night leans on a strong ensemble — Nobuko Otowa, Shūji Sano, Hitomi Nozoe — 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 drama titles of 1956.
