Slave Widow	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Slave Widow is a 1967 film from Japan directed by Mamoru Watanabe.Mitsuko Fuji (Noriko Tatsumi) is a young woman married to a businessman. She is left alone most of the time as their house is in the country but Mr. Fuji works in Tokyo. Mitsuko's only companion is her loyal maid Aya.Mitsuko's world comes crashing down one day when she receives word that her husband has died of a heart attack. Things get worse when a certain Mr. Kito, a businessman so ruthless he's been nicknamed "the Devil", comes to visit and tells Mitsuko that her husband's business was a failure and her husband was drowning in debt. Kito in fact, as Mr. Fuji's main creditor, has taken over Fuji's business and assets and has come to take possession of the house that Mitsuko is living in. However, in addition to being evil Kito is also a sleazeball. He makes the lovely Mitsuko an offer: he will sign the house over to her, if she contents to be his mistress. After he rapes her, Mitsuko gives in.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There is a complicating factor, however, in the person of Kito's son Kazuhiko. Kazuhiko, who is as decent as his father is gross, is engaged to be married to Mariko, the daughter of one of Kito's business partners. This doesn't stop him from falling for Mitsuko.This film was one of the earliest examples of the "pink film", the erotic films that became quite popular in Japan in the late 1960s. While Slave Widow has only a modest amount of nudity (it's not nearly as lurid as the English title suggests), later pink films would be much more explicit.

Slave Widow / int_15395adc	comment	The Mistress: Despite the title Mitsuko isn't a "slave" in any BDSM sense; no, she's merely a kept woman allowed to remain in her home on the understanding that she'll provide Kito with sex. He even suggests that he might marry her, although he's really just stringing her along.

There's Kazuhiko, Kito's son, who falls for Mitsuko. And then there's Kazuhiko's fiancée Mariko who is blissfully unaware that Kazuhiko is pursuing his father's mistress.

Slave Widow / int_8fb42f35	comment	Erotic Film: A young widow with no money and no possessions is forced to be the kept woman of a businessman who bought up her husband's debt. Having been lonely and sexually frustrated before due to her husband neglecting her, she finds sexual fulfillment in her new relationship even while also feeling ashamed. (Although other pink films had much more nudity, this one actually has less sexual content than American films such as Basic Instinct or Sirens.)
