Stakeout (張込み, Harikomi) is a 1958 Japanese drama and crime film directed by Yoshitarō Nomura, based on a story by Seicho Matsumoto.[1][2]
Plot[]
After the murder of a pawnbroker, Tokyo detectives Shimooka and Yuki are sent to Kyushu, home of murder suspect Ishii's former girlfriend Sadako, as the police expect Ishii to make contact with her. While observing her house, Yuki starts to sympathise with Sadako, who lives in an unhappy marriage with her loveless businessman husband. When Ishii finally meets with Sadako, Yuki's initial presumption, that he might want to kill her and subsequently commit suicide, is proven wrong. Sadako, regretting their once parting, asks Ishii to allow her to go with him, but Ishii, ill with tuberculosis, declines. The police arrest Ishii, leaving behind a grieving Sadako.
