Black Comedy: Like the play, the film is a darkly humorous story about a group of residents in a slum.

The Alcoholic: Unokichi is the wacky, fun kind, and the actor is the sad, forgetful kind.

Betty and Veronica: Osugi (Betty) Okayo (Veronica) and Sutekichi (Archie), although Osugi has more of the personality of a Veronica.

Brief Accent Imitation: Koji Mitsui does a pretty good Bokuzen Hidari impression in the final scene.

Bad Habits: Kahei is a gentle, well-intentioned man, but it's implied that he's had a few run-ins with the authorities.
