About That Night's Wife (1930)

That Night's Wife (その夜の妻, Sono Yo no Tsuma) is a 1930 Japanese crime and drama film directed by Yasujirō Ozu. The film stars Tokihiko Okada, Tatsuo Saitō, Chishū Ryū, Emiko Yagumo and Tōgō Yamamoto in the lead roles.

A man, Shuji Hashizume, robs a bank at gunpoint, leaving a bloody handprint behind as he flees from the police. Elsewhere, a doctor tends to a young girl named Michiko. The doctor tells the girl's mother, Mayumi, that Michiko might not make it through the night; if she does, however, she will be past the worst of her illness. The child awakens and asks for her father, but Mayumi tells her that he has gone out to find money for medicine. Shuji narrowly escapes capture from the police and calls a doctor from a phone booth.
