When he sobers down, he decides to write about the life of a salaried employee like himself who is very ordinary, not particularly talented. The following is his story: In 1949, Eburi gets married to Natsuko. His monthly salary is 8,000 yen and hers 4,000 yen. Therefore, both have to work to support themselves. Eburi has developed a habituIl tendency to pester around when he gets drunk. One year after their marriage, son Shosuke is born. In 1959, Eburi's mother dies in despair of her husband who has become listless due to the several ups and downs of gaining big profits and going bankrupt. His father is still alive and Eburi is enable to find a way to pay his father's debts. He is doubtful if he can make his wife and child happy. Nevertheless, he has somehow managed to survive so far, living in one of the houses at the employee housing quarters. He gives the title "The Elegant Life of Mr. Everyman" to his story of half novel and half essay style. When it is published, it receives the Naoki Literary Prize (the award given in memory of popular writer Naoki Sanjugo). At a party to celebrate his award, he gets drunk and pesters around. Notes The film is based on a novel written in the style of an essay under the same title by Yamaguchi Hitomi, depicting everyday life of a man categorized as "During-the-war Generation" who spent school days during the war and get married to start new life in the struggling post-war era. "Everyman" in the title means an average salaried employee who makes up an overwhelming majority of the city population in Japan, and "The Elegant Life" indicates sarcasm on betterment of the standard of living of ordinary salaried employees accompanied with Japan's economic growth after only a decade from the destroyed post-war period. As depicted in the film, the author Yamaguchi Hitomi was awarded the Naoki Literature Prize for this story. When he established himself well enough to become independent, he quit working as a salaried employee. Director Okamoto Kihachi and the leading actor Kobayashi Keiju belong to the same generation as the author. Exploiting innovative effects such as inserting animation sequences, the film humorously presents compassion of a middle-aged salaried employee. Kobayashi Keiju, who was originally noted for his excellent portrayal of salaried employee, won the best leading actor award of the Mainichi Film Contest for his superb performance in this picture.。梁家姐弟三人，大姐佩君遇人不淑，男友在她怀孕后甩手而去，十七岁的佩君为了照顾幼子以及一妹一弟，在父亲入狱后做舞女承担起了家庭的责任。二姐露露在女校读书，但叛逆的年纪里她无心向学，结交飞车青年纵乐度日。佩君在夜总会偶遇抛弃自己的前男友，愤怒至极将对方刺伤，结果被判入感化院半年…… 重获自由的佩君开始为婚姻打算，恰巧再次偶遇有一面之缘的实习医生Eric，佩君与Eric彼此颇有好感，二人很快陷入了热恋。但相对出身上层社会的Eric一家，佩君自感无法融入那个陌生的世界，但是为了体味爱情的幸福感觉，佩君隐藏身份和Eric交往，三个月后，Eric完成实习即将赶回美国，佩君将要面对梦醒时分……。
