Otoko wa tsurai yo: Torajiro gambare!

This one started strong but lost me a little in the second half. I've seen Yoji Yamada's superior The Yellow Handkerchief, which came out the same year, so maybe he was more occupied with that.

Still, if anything stuck out to me, it was that this felt like a sadder Tora-san film than usual. The dream at the start where he longs for a better life, and then the funny but also a little sad idea that he's better at helping other people in their love lives than his own we're both a bit depressing, as was a character being driven almost to suicide at one point.

But Tora himself keeps on fighting, and looking ahead, he'll do so for another 28 films it seems.
