Like A Candle in the Wind, which we showed in the 1986 Kinoshita Tribute, Spring Dreams is a satire on contemporary (1960) mores in which the gross and the wacky are emphasized by a no-holds-barred film style. Here, confusion enters the lives of an upper-class family when a sweet-potato vendor suffers a stroke in their house. "Comedy with fresh, biting repartee" (Audie Bock).
