Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was the first and the last film Eun-shim Lee (Myung-sook) starred in. The public hated immoral Myung-sook so much that no director hired her after this film. [She may not have had a starring role, but she was hired for two films after this movie and also appeared in one movie previously.]
- Goofs(at around 1h 29 mins) The girl, Ae-soon, gets out of bed surprisingly quickly and effortlessly for a young woman needing crutches.
- Quotes
Dong-sik Kim: What does the law state about a man who cheats on his wife?
Lyu: [laughs] Sometimes he can get a lighter sentence than for a traffic violation. Once his wife forgives him, he's acquitted. Just as you wouldn't tell your son you're a murderer of a thief, even between couples some things should be kept secret.

Featured review
When it ended, i was shook. I couldn't believe how insane this movie is. Insane in a good way. I couldn't believe this is a 1960 movie. Even by today standards, this is insane and mindblowing. During the first 20-30 minutes, i thought i knew where it goes and the same will everyone think. But make no mistake, you don't have a clue where it goes. It's not just cheap twists that made this unpredictable but organically flowing turns of the story. I mean, this is coherent and it doesn't shock you just for the shake of shock, with dumb twists that come out of nowhere. The person who wrote this knew exactly what he was doing. Because this is not just insane but brilliant too.
I can't rate it higher because i was not that excited during the first 40-50 minutes. This movie takes its time. I repeat, you think it is just an ordinary story, like a drama romance film noir of this era, with lovers thinking the same old schemes etc. No, it's not. This is way too original and creative. Of course way better than the mediocre 2010 version. The 2010 HANYO is not good. But this is.
Icing on the cake: The last minute. I couldn't believe my own eyes, i watched it three times, that indicates how much i loved it.
