Background and Trivia

The movie's story is based on the character Miko Mishima, played by Yukiko Shimazaki, being a contestant in Toho's New Face (東宝ニューフェイス) auditions.

First started in 1946, and running until 1968, the contest was responsible for drawing in a number of Toho's talent. Contestants include Toshiro Mifune, Akira Takarada, Kenji Sahara, Momoko Kochi, Toshio Kurosawa and many others.
