本片日语片名为西班牙音乐家萨拉塞蒂一九○四年演奏的唱片名,原著是黑泽明绝笔《夕阳正红》主人公、随笔家内田百闲的小说《萨拉塞蒂的唱片》,影片中这张唱片及其音乐出现在主人公青地丰二郎的家中,他那位放荡的妻子放的。青地是陆军学校的德语教师,由清顺所欣赏的中年导演藤田敏八扮演,他身材壮阔,穿着厚重的呢子西装,酷似俄罗斯人。原田芳雄所饰演的浪子中砂与青地算是旧识,但他玩世不恭,似乎没有一点正经,只喜欢追逐女人,也只有女人能让他兴奋起来。两人在旅馆中结识了艺妓小稻,看上去她对青地有意,青地也喜欢她,却不知为什么不肯和她接近,结果让中砂厚着脸皮搞到手了。青地和中砂各有妻子,青地上门做客时,赫然发现中砂的妻子园与艺妓小稻相貌一模一样,均由大谷直子扮演。园也爱上了青地,青地还是不肯接近她,她产下孩子失意而死,小稻很快来接替她成了中砂的妻子。中砂有了温暖的家却心不在此而属意流浪,青地妻子的妹妹在医院中告诉青地,说病中曾见姐姐与中砂在面前有亲热举动。中砂离家流浪,埋在樱花下的沙地里,只露出头,死了,不远处是一男一女两个年幼盲童的歌声。清顺复出后真正完全启用旧班底的本片,很难用语言复述,通篇是用惊人影像营造起来的一个梦境,这梦境有清顺对死亡的幻觉和敬畏,像中砂死在樱花下、埋在沙砾中,像两男一女卖唱行乞的盲艺人,情敌决斗以竹杖相互敲头将对方敲进沙滩的沙屑中,女人弹着琵琶坐着木桶被海水吞没,带着意蕴深远的迷醉情绪;有富于象征性的奇观、恐惧、情欲,以及妖艳的媚笑也复不少,但看的人很难从中理出路数来,不明其所谓,只好去看色彩、布料、置景、道具极度富有的美感和质感,那白色洋房外表、花纹壁纸为里的青地家住宅,还有在砂家青色竹席、总是有火锅热气腾腾日本式住房,极富20世纪10-20年大正时代的特色。将观众的注意力牢固吸引于杰出的形式美,这正是清顺“浪漫三部曲”的目的。

This production of 'Twelve Angry Men', written especially for Studio One, is shorter than the film version and leaves a few twists and turns of plot undeveloped, but it is fifty minutes of class nevertheless. For many years this episode was thought to have been lost. The Museum of Television and Radio (now the Paley Center) had only the first 30 minutes of the hour-long program on a kinescope provided by CBS - the only version CBS had. After nearly 30 years of searching, a copy of the complete program was found in 2003 by filmmaker Joseph Consentino, who was working on a documentary about noted defense attorney Robert Leibowitz (Leibowitz reported on the Charles A. Lindbergh baby kidnapping for the NY radio station WHN) and found a copy of the show in the archives maintained by the children of Leibowitz, Robert Leibowitz and Marjorie Leibowitz Finch. Samuel Leibowitz requested and received a commercial-free kinescope copy of "Twelve Angry Men" from CBS shortly after it aired because of his interest in legal issues. The Leibowitz children donated the kinescope to the museum and it had a re-premiere in May 2003.
