Kurosawa's memoirs, "Something Like an Autobiography" in
English, ends with his production of "Rashomon," and so does
not extend beyond the very early 1950s and thus not to "High
and Low," his McBain adaptation.

It's "Yoidore Tenshi," (or "Drunken Angel" in English). It's
the story of the relationship between a slum doctor and the
gangster who comes to him for treatment of a bullet wound and
discovers that he has tuberculosis. A wonderful film, only
Mifune's third or fourth, I think.
