A gang of prostitutes and a perpetually shirtless thug (Jo Shishido) survive in the sewers of Occupied Japan in this color-filled, cheerfully nihilistic thumb-in-the-eye to both good taste and motion picture censors. “A classic of the Nikkatsu subgenre known as roman porno” (James Quandt, Cinematheque Ontario).
