Drunken Angel

Drunken Angel (酔いどれ天使, Yoidore Tenshi) is a 1948 Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It stars Takashi Shimura as an alcoholic doctor in postwar Japan who treats a young, small-time hood named Matsunaga, (Toshir Mifune in his first role working with Kurosawa,) after a gunfight with a rival syndicate. The doctor diagnoses the young gangster's tuberculosis, and convinces him to begin treatment for it. The two enjoy an uneasy friendship until the gangster's former boss is released from prison and seeks to take his gang over once again. The sick young man then stops following the doctors advice, and slips back into habits that threaten to kill him, while his life is further endangered by his gangster lifestyle.
