Eburi is a 36 year-old man. Nothing enthuses him any more. While being drunk, he promises to contribute a story to a magazine. 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.。清末民初的天津，叫花子孟来财为生计被迫卖掉小女儿小雪，偶遇落魄的德国军火商人韩奈根，他成功地帮助韩奈根打入朝廷，与北洋新军总兵签下订单。孟来财戏剧般的当上了德国洋行的买办，一夜暴富，从此周旋在尔虞我诈、相互利用的北洋军阀和德国、日本军火商之间。 孟来财发财后一心想寻回穷困时卖掉的女儿，并娶颇有姿色的姚氏为妻，却不知她是日本人安插在他身边打探情报的一颗棋子。大女儿小云十分厌恶这个阴险的后妈，留洋回国后与一心争财的姚氏频频爆发战争。为求生存，孟来财小心翼翼地在陷阱重重的生意场和矛盾四起的家庭间挣扎。怎奈中德断交，孟来财被抄家，锒铛入狱，再度一无所有。 他的遭遇随动乱时代的风云变幻而大起大落，为民族大义不惜舍弃荣华富贵，从贫贱到富贵再沉沦到一贫如洗的频频换位使他强烈感受到残酷并带有嘲讽意味的世态人生。。
