}}{{nihongo|The Quiet Duel|静かなる決闘|Shizukanaru Kettō}} is a 1949 Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It was the second of sixteen film collaborations between director Kurosawa and actor Toshiro Mifune.

Plot

Toshiro Mifune plays Dr. Kyoji Fujisaki, a young idealistic doctor who, during the war, contracts syphilis from the blood of a patient (Kenjiro Uemura) when he cuts himself during an operation.

Contaminated with this infectious, typically shameful and then virtually incurable disease, Fujisaki returns home from the war to the clinic presided over by his obstetrician father (Takashi Shimura). He comes into contact with the patient who contaminted him, in the process seeing the consequences of ignoring the disease. Treating himself in secret with Salvarsane and tormented by his sense of injustice, he rejects his fiancée of six years Misao, (Miki Sanjō) without explanation, as he does not wish her to have to wait for a number of years until he is cured. Heartbroken, Misao becomes engaged to another man. She makes one last plea to Fujisaki but he stands firm in rejecting her.
