EASY FINANCING

The key is to have sufficient assets.

Getting deeper into those two-thousand Japanese posters we mentioned, here’s a promo for Shôgorô Nishimura’s Danchizuma: nikutai kinyu, which in English was called Apartment Wife: Flesh Financing. There were twenty-one of these Apartment Wife movies made by Nikkatsu Studios during the 1970s, and they mostly focused on the sexual predicaments of working class women. This one is supposedly one of the best, but we can’t say because we haven’t been able to track it down. It starred Yu Mizuki, who also appeared in 1977’s Danchizuma: amayadori no joji, aka Apartment Wife: Rainy Day Affair, as well as several other productions. Danchizuma: nikutai kinyu premiered in Japan today in 1976.
