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.。法兰克是一个年轻而富有理想的警察，他从巡警开始做起，后来成为卧底警察，虽然他的破案率很高，但他不愿意象其他警察那样收受贿赂，这使他显得和其他人格格不入。这种做法也使他身陷危机，因为他的同事们都与他为敌，且不时地陷害他。当检察组开始调查警局内部的贪污内幕时，他又出面作证，因此更陷入危险之中……。1993年1月9日，让-克劳德·莱蒙杀死了他的妻子，孩子和父母。然后他试图自杀，但未成功。18年来他一直声称是名医生，但调查表明他根本就不是医生。他多年来所做的一切就是费尽心思编织、掩盖谎言。当他的秘密就要被揭穿时，他绝望地试图消灭所有那些他无法面对的人。 1993年1月9日之前，所有认识让-克劳德·哈蒙的人，都说他是一个高超的医生，一个好人：他为世界健康组织工作，常常到处出差；他在医学界有很多朋友；一旦有空，他总乐于参与社区事务。没有人意识到哈蒙从未在医学院毕业，包括他医学院的同学。整整十八年间，哈蒙用一个谎言欺骗了所有人。当这个谎言终于被揭穿的时候，哈蒙感到自己无法面对亲人的目光，就在1993年1月9日先杀死自己的妻子和两个孩子，然后杀死自己的父母，放火烧屋，最后试图自杀。 尼科尔·加西亚用了一个《公民凯恩》式的结构拍摄本片。先拍摄惨案，然后从男主角的医学院同窗、情妇等人的角度分别追忆其人其事。本片在法国上映后，大受欢迎，是夏天最卖座的电影之一。。
