      • Trivia
        Yasujirō Ozu: [static camera] There is not a single camera movement in the entire film, as in many of Ozu's films.
      • Quotes
        • [English subtitled version]
        • Yoshitaro Sakamoto: If Japan had won the war, how would things be?
        • Shuhei Hirayama: I wonder.
        • Yoshitaro Sakamoto: More whiskey! Bring us the whole bottle. If we'd won, we'd both be in New York now. New York. And not just a pachinko parlor called New York. The real thing!
        • Shuhei Hirayama: Think so?
        • Yoshitaro Sakamoto: Absolutely. Because we lost, our kids dance around and shake their rumps to American records. But if we had won, the blue-eyed ones would have chignon hairdos and chew gum while plunking tunes on the shamisen.
        • Shuhei Hirayama: But I think it's good we lost.
        • Yoshitaro Sakamoto: You think? Yeah, maybe you're right. The dumb militarists can't bully us anymore.
      • Crazy credits
        The film title and credits are set against a backdrop of painted fronds.

        Generally Yasujirō Ozu films have the credits placed before a backdrop of plain sackcloth.
