It was written by Yusaku Yamagata and Kajiro Yamamoto, and stars Susumu Fujita, Hideko Takamine, Kenji Susukida and Masayuki Mori.

Plot Synopsis

Gintaro Okamoto is the father of two sisters, one a script-girl, and one a review dancer. Okamoto opposes unions, as he is part of the white-collar working force himself. Then, the union calls a strike to support the striking railroad workers. The sisters become opposites in this conflict, and the father has to mediate, but basically opposes the strike. Then, Okamoto is laid off, and his opinion turns. He ends up being a frontman for the strikers.
Reviews
