The vague liberalism of that film was soon abandoned as Abe, with blockbusters such as Flaming Sky (Moyuruōzora, 1940) and Fire on That Flag (Ano hata o ute, 1944), became one of the leading producers of nationalistic propaganda before and during the Pacific War. Even in the fifties, Battleship Yamato (Senkan Yamato, 1953) and I Was a Siberian POW (Watashi wa Shiberiya no horyo datta, 1952) exposed his continuing admiration for Japanese militarism. Much of Abe’s postwar work consisted of undistinguished genre films such as Desert in Ginza (Ginza no sabaku, 1958), a brutal and silly crime thriller set against the backdrop of Tokyo’s fashionable yet seedy Ginza district. However, he achieved a commercial success with the first film adaptation of Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s novel about life among Osaka’s prewar upper middle class, The Makioka Sisters (Sasameyuki, 1950). Later, the freewheeling comedy Season of Affairs (Uwaki no kisetsu, 1959) carried some of his old satirical feeling in its amused take on contemporary social mores. It is unfortunate that the films which earned Abe his fame as a satirist in the silent era are not preserved today.
