About A good guy - A mischievous genius
Fujishima Hiroshi (Kyu Sakamoto), a born "genius of mischief," joins a trading company in order to meet Nakahara Michiko (Kayama Yoshiko), a girl he has admired since his student days. However, he competes with his rival Kono (Tani Kanichi) to beat Michiko, and uses all sorts of business tactics to climb the corporate ladder in this salaryman screwball comedy.
Directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu, A good guy - A mischievous genius leans on a strong ensemble — Kyū Sakamoto, Yoshiko Kayama, Yōko Mihara — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1965.
