Notes
  • Release date: 06/22/1958.
  • Alternate title: Giants and toys.
  • Audie Bock comments that "Masumura's fourth film establishes him as a bitter satirist on contemporary Japanese society. Moving away from the melodramas he began with, in Kyojin to gangu he broadens to genre that must be classed as comedy yet rejects a happy ending. His quick editing affords glimpses of the bathos of the executive who destroys himself for his company, the idiocy of the television world, and the animal survival ability of the ignorant overnight star. Kawaguchi Hiroshi is very convincing as the young man who would like to keep a few principles."
