Overview:	Two detectives are assigned to investigate the murder of a 60-year-old policeman at the Tokyo Railway Station. The victim is well-liked and benevolent, and there does not seem to be any motivation to the murder. A further investigation finally leads to the discovery of the hidden past of a young rising composer. The original novel by Seicho Matsumoto, on which the film is based, has been a bestseller in Japan. The adaptation by Yoji Yamada (of "Tora-San" series fame) and director Toshitaro Nomura skillfully incorporates the elements of melodrama, suspense, and thriller to forma tightly structured human drama about someone who attempts to escape from his past but fails.
