The third film that Naruse made in 1950, White Beast (Shiroi yaji, 1950), was described by Kinema Junpo critic Tsumura Hideo three years later as "so indescribably miserable as to haunt me even today." Tsumura represents the bulk of Japanese critics of the time, who felt that Naruse experienced a terrible slump throughout the 1940s and this film seemed to be the "bottom of the ocean." The critical establishment was clearly not prepared to accept a woman's prison film featuring former prostitutes recovering from venereal diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and estranged lovers. With its catfights, hysterical tantrums, film noir lighting, and dramatic music, White Beast is indicative of the new influences of the Hollywood psychological thriller on Naruse. Caged (John Cromwell, 1950) initiated a cycle of women's prison movies in the United States that may or may not have been shown in Japan, but the stylistics of White Beast draw on the same paranoid woman's films and film noir conventions that preceded the American cycle.

打架、色诱、自杀,梅毒导致精神病发……多角度全方位突破了标准成濑女性电影的行为尺度与情绪极限,却又较为符合风化改造这一特定敏感题材所应承载的情节要求。立新而不违和。只是整体观感尚不及那部同年次同题材作品铁窗红泪。还是1950年,日本影坛问世过另一部结尾以婴儿寓意希望的作品——罗生门。

战后接受改造的风尘女性群像,各自遭遇虽不同,但身心俱创,汇集于类似理想国的感化院(从管理和设置来看,应该还不算是监狱),从自暴自弃到象征新生的婴儿出世,一番人间悲喜;成濑对其所有深切同情均付诸于男主和医生,成为救济行善的理想化身。

4.2 成濑的女性正确立意,监狱只是一场司求。
