About Police Precinct Part 17
The murder took place at a hotel in Matsushima. The victim is a woman about 28 years old. The suspect is a young man who visited her the night before, and the evidence, in addition to shoe horns and handkerchiefs, is soap with the name of the tavern. When detectives at Shiogama Station followed the man's tracks, it turned out that he had come from Ueno.
Directed by Shinji Murayama, Police Precinct Part 17 leans on a strong ensemble — Yūji Hori, Rinichi Yamamoto, Sonny Chiba — 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 crime titles of 1961.
