"This is one of a series of comedies by Itami (the others include: A Taxing Woman, Tampopo and The Funeral) which satirise the collapse of traditional values in Japan since World War II. Here Itami employs the conventions of melodrama. He further develops the central character in A Taxing Woman. Ryoko Hakura, the resourceful tax inspector inspired by Peter Falk's Columbo, takes on the financial labyrinth constructed by the jaded leader of a fraudulent religious cult collaborating with politicians, banks and big business all held together by organised crime." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
