剧情介绍
成瀬巳喜男監督が、東宝争議のなかで設立された独立プロ“映画芸術協会“から松竹へ出向して撮った作品。丹羽文雄の小説を原作に、ライバル同士の化粧品会社の競争に巻き込まれた美しい三姉妹の運命を描く。背景にどす黒い企業戦争がある点など、成瀬向きの題材とは言いがたいが、三宅邦子ら3女優の美しさは絶品。
In Japan, after the death of Mr. Masago, her wife Satomi Masago loses the family's company "Lily Cosmetic" to Mr. Mogy due to huge amount of debts relative to withdraws of money from the company made by her husband. Mogy blackmails Satomi's sister Hinako, asking her to marry him and he would not send Masago to jail, and Satomi wrongly understands that Hinako is dating her enemy Mogy. Satomi Masago founds the "Niagera Cosmetic" to compete with Lily and becomes a powerful executive. Hinako indeed likes Sonoike, former employee of Toyo Pictures and hired to work in Niagera, but Satomi plots the marriage of Hinako with her manager Tsuke Hinjatsu. Meanwhile, their young sister Chisuzu Satomi decides to live with the small time crook and pimp Ejima, from "Fashion & Films", being explored and abused by him. When Masago hires her lover Kojima to be the account of Niagera, she finds that Hinatsu is stealing the company with his mistress Yamashita. Hinatsu tries to kill Hinako and she loses her...
有一个很怪的镜头：左上方大片留白，身体被桌子肢解，男女都是看上去不太舒服的姿势，打开的台灯，翻开的书。整个场景临时而仓促，很像两个人关系的注解，这段时间真的是幽微难尽啊
对比成濑在有声片初期有关艺伎的《浅草三姐妹》，本片显然在创业，感情和争夺上进行全方位的复杂化，这与丹羽文雄的原作也有密切的关系，相同的是在本片中继续女性解放主题，甚至存在女权的象征，这些隐约的标志暗示战后的成濑即将复苏。
同样是讲述三姐妹的感情纠葛和命运沉浮。相较于《浅草三姐妹》的庶民味，《蔷薇合战》更加摩登现代。成濑跳出松竹后时隔多年又与松竹合作的作品。戏剧性强，人物错综复杂，感情描写多等都不大适合成濑电影特质。美术设计是黑泽明的御用松山崇，场地转换频繁，算是爱情剧里的大制作吧。
