Featured review
Many years ago, Atsushi Watanabe was the guy who lowered the crossing barrier on the local railroad. Kamatari Fujiwara and Akira Kishii were railroad employees who almost got his daughter, Setsuko Himemiya, killed. Watanabe was promoted to station master. The other two men were fired, but kept on by Watanabe. Now they want to use the talent competition at the local festival to launch a career as professional entertainers.
It's a slight semi-musical, with an assortment of western jazz numbers (including "My Blue Heaven"), traditional Japanese ballads, and a Chaplin imitator. This film looks like a B musical, intended to fill out a program and keep the people at Toho working profitably. There's some subtext about the easy-going camaraderie of small towns, but it doesn't seem to add much to anything, except a pleasant 75 minutes.
