Interesting facts
Husband and Wife is a 1953 Japanese comedy-drama film directed by Mikio Naruse.
Background
Like other Naruse films from this period, such as Repast and Wife, the theme of Husband and Wife involves a couple trapped with each other, and, another recurring motif in the director's films, a character is forced to redefine oneself and test his/her strength. Husband and Wife was Yōko Sugi's only starring role in a Naruse film, playing a part that had originally been intended for Setsuko Hara.
