Seijun Suzuki directed this hard-hitting account of a woman who
volunteers to serve as a "comfort woman" (prostitute to the Japanese
army) at the Manchurian front in 1937. Harumi (Yukimo Nogawa) is
desperate to get out of Japan to escape the memory of a doomed
romance. She offers to serve the Army in Manchuria, where the
sadistic Lieutenant Narita (Isao Tamagawa) uses her violently and
wants her as his private servant. However, Harumi has become
infatuated with Mikami (Tamio Kawachi), Narita's subordinate, and
they embark on an affair that would mean certain punishment for both
of them if it were ever to be discovered. Diary Of A Prostitute was
based on a novel by Taijiro Tamura, which was previously filmed (in
bowdlerized form) in 1950 as Escape At Dawn.
