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.。伊氏在本片扮演潦倒的记者，在迷失中随心所欲，甚至上了总编的老婆。 无辜的杀人犯即将被执行死刑，负责采访的女记者前一天却遇车祸身亡，总编发现了伊氏和老婆偷情的痕迹，于是让伊氏接过这个大家都不太想接手的采访。然而，有敏感直觉的记者觉得此案有冤情，在仅剩的离死刑执行前12小时过程中，伊氏看似糊里糊涂、却紧张有序的调查、采访过程逐步展开，在此过程中，他得以重新面对自己的过去和反省现在的状态，在为别人申冤的过程中，也获得了自我的救赎……。讲述了随着战争在中东以及世界其他盛产石油的地区蔓延，美国的汽油价格也随之一路飙升：并由此带来一系列的社会混乱和华尔街的动荡。主要做石油生意的神鹰公司也受到重大冲击，不过他们还有挽救公司的最后一张牌——收购利益巨大的俄罗斯石油公司的项目，但核心人物理查德意外去世，野心勃勃的投资银行家汤姆因此替代好友理查德成为这一项目的主导人，并在他的努力下，即将落实项目交易。然而此时意外再次发生，有人要刺杀汤姆阻止交易，十分震惊的汤姆开始调查这交易背后的秘密，最后发现这一切已经不再是简单的商业博弈，还有国家之间的较量，于是他很快意识到现实情况远比金钱和石油更加危急。。
