1975, 90 min., 35 mm, color. Directed by Yoji Yamada. With Kiyoshi Atsumi, Chieko Baisho and Ruriko Asaoka.
Disgruntled with his life in Tokyo as an established business man with a family, Hyodo escapes to Hokkaido to look for his high school love, with Tora-san in tow. On the way, Tora-san runs into the beautiful singer, Lily, who has divorced her husband since she last saw Tora-san. Can Tora-san hold onto her this time? Ruriko Asaoka stars as Lily, who played the “Madonna” in five of the Tora-san films- the most of any other Madonna in the series.
This film is part of the Monthly Classics series, Best of Tora-san.
