The Bride is Fifteen (1964) IMDb Douban
花嫁は十五才
director: 江崎实生 actor: 和泉雅子 / 山内贤 …
other title: 新娘十五岁 / 花嫁は十五才
Hanayome wa Jūgo-sai, directed by Mio Ezaki and distributed by Nikkatsu, stars Masako Izumi and Ken Yamauchi. The high-key pink background and casual photographic portrait embody Nikkatsu’s 1960s youth-film aesthetic. Clean, hopeful, and pop-oriented. The large white title, handwritten for a softer impression, injects playful energy that contrasts with the strict vertical text blocks. As Japan’s youth culture blossomed after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, posters like this captured the spirit of romance and rebellion marketed to teenage audiences. The vivid color palette and carefree composition signal a stylistic shift from postwar black-and-white melodrama to the vibrant optimism of modern Technicolor cinema.

Takashi and Yuriko are like any other young couple.

other title: 硝子のジョニー・野獣のように見えて
蔵原惟繕監督と山田信夫脚本のコンビによる日活アクションの類型をはずれた異色作。北海道の北端・稚内の昆布採りの娘・みふねは、貧しさのため人買いの秋本に売られるが、途中で逃げ出し見知らぬ男・ジョーに救われる。秋本・みふね・ジョーの3人は運命の糸に結ばれ、やがてみふねの故郷・稚内で巡り会うことになるが……。この作品は公開当時、白痴のヒロインをめぐる二人の男という人物設定の類似からフェデリコ・フェリーニの「道」（1954）の模倣とみなされていたが、心ある映画ファンならこの映画の真意をくみ取ることができるはず。主演の3人はいずれも好演だが、特に白痴のヒロインに扮する芦川いづみが素晴らしい存在感を示した。
