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.。海军上校达吉（凯尔希·格兰莫 Kelsey Grammer 饰）生性狂放不羁，因为屡犯军纪而被贬职，成为了即将报废的潜水艇“刺鱼一号”的舰长。尽管潜水艇上的船员们尽是一些乌合之众，但达吉却和他们颇为“臭味相投”，之后调来的美丽女上尉雷科（罗伦·荷莉 Lauren Holly 饰）更是让达吉觉得自己来对了地方。 在一次军事演习中，达吉率领刺鱼一号完成了一次根本不可能完成的任务，将军格兰（布鲁斯·邓恩 Bruce Dern 饰）是达吉的宿敌，心生妒忌的他再次给达吉出了难题。然而，让格兰没有想到的是，达吉凭借着勇气和幸运再一次侥幸完成任务，但这并没能让格兰回心转意，他甚至企图夺走达吉身为舰长的权利。。
