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.。婉君7岁那年被卖到周家给大儿子伯健当冲喜新娘，由于彼时大家年岁尚小，并没有说穿，婉君与病弱的伯健、骄傲自负的仲康、以及最小最淘气的叔豪天天耳鬓厮磨，一起闹事被大人教训，童年嘻嘻哈哈的时光过去。转眼婉君已经十六岁，到了应该成亲圆房的时候。然而三个少年此时对婉君都怀着深深的爱慕，三个人都前后来逼问她最爱的人是谁，婉君深怕伤害任何一个人，不愿作答。然而事情又走向另一个极端：伯健不愿强人所难，仲康又放不下自己的自尊，叔豪认为自己根本没资格争取。人人都陷入自己的挣扎中，周家的大人看着三个儿子备受煎熬，终于爆发。。因发电厂筑坝施工，卡胡瓦西河将要变为湖区而消失，路易斯（伯特·雷诺兹 Burt Reynolds 饰）、艾德（强·沃特 Jon Voight 饰）、波比（尼德·巴蒂 Ned Beatty 饰）和德鲁（罗尼·考克斯 Ronny Cox 饰）四个爱好冒险和自然的好友结伴，计划在周末前往卡胡瓦西河漂流。四人在即将成为湖区的萧条小镇找到向导，终于抵达河岸，简单准备后就开始了冒险。第二天早上，试图打猎的艾德一无所获，在强壮敏捷的路易斯面前颇感无趣，与胖子波比先行下河探路，然而他们遇上了两个持枪的陌生人，对方将他们控制并施以侮辱，路易斯赶到后将陌生人杀死。四人匆匆逃离此地，此时，河水变得狰狞，激流与岩石处处致命，一场冒险之旅成为了夺命之旅……。
