主人公は、函館の小さな居酒屋「兆治」の店主、藤野伝吉。伝吉は、この間、文化勲章を受賞した健さん（高倉健）が演じているの。寡黙で実直、不器用で、女性に関しては煮え切らない役どころ、あたり役よね。伝吉は、若い頃、さよ（大原麗子）と恋仲になるんだけど、「さよ」に牧場主との縁談話が持ち上がるの。そして、伝吉は、自分と一緒になって貧乏させたくないという思いから、身をひくの。でも、さよは、その後もずっと伝吉だけを想い続けていたのよ。だから、さよは、市場で、伝吉をたまたま見かけ、ヒートアップしちゃったのね。ぼおっとして火事を起こし家を燃やしてしまい、家出。すすき野でホステスやって、ウィスキーをがぶ飲みして、最後は、血吐いて死んでしまうの。伝吉と撮った写真を握り締めて・・。サントリーのコマーシャル女優がウィスキーで死んでしまうなんて映画とはいえショック！転落の人生ね。愛されたい女の無念と愛に応えられない男の無念、これは辛すぎるわ。男性への愛だけが人生じゃないんだよ。心細くてもせつなくても耐えて生きないと!!

The main character is Denkichi Fujino, the owner of a small pub "Choji" in Hakodate. Denkichi is played by Ken Takakura, who won the Order of Culture during this time. It's quiet, straightforward, clumsy, and when it comes to women, it's a role that can't be boiled down. When Denkichi was young, he fell in love with Sayo (Reiko Ohara), but "Sayo" brought up a discourse with the rancher. And Denkichi pulls himself out because he doesn't want to be poor with him. But Sayo kept thinking only of Denkichi after that. That's why Sayo happened to see Denkichi in the market and got heated up. I ran away from home after causing a fire and burning my house. He's a hostess in Susukino, gulping whiskey, and finally vomits blood and dies. Hold on to the picture you took with Denkichi ... It's a shock to see Suntory's commercial actress die from whiskey, even though it's a movie! It's a fall life. The regret of a woman who wants to be loved and the regret of a man who can't respond to love, this is too painful. Love for men is not the only life. I have to endure and live even if I'm lonely or painful !!
