Otoko wa Tsurai yo
Each film featured a different leading lady, called a Madonna, and a different region of Japan.
( There were also episodes that featured scenes in Arizona and Vienna.)
Two films were usually made each year between 1969 and 1989, one for summer and one for New Year release.
From 1990 to 1995 only one film was made each year, for New Year release.
AnimEigo released a boxset of the first four films in the United States in 2009 under the title" Tora- san".
The series holds the Guinness World Record for the longest- running movie series starring a single actor.
The film series had presumed to have ended with Atsumi's declining health and death from lung cancer at age 68, without Tora -san ever settling down and finding domestic happiness.
Atsumi was so identified with the Tora-san character that his death was also considered by fans to be the death of Tora-san.
Director Yamada had decided at the time not to continue the series after Atsumi's death, but reworked a Tora- san script stuck in development as" Niji wo Tsukamu Otoko" starring Nishida Toshiyuki as a traveling cinema operator.
Although" Niji" was a tribute to movies in general, the final scenes were Yamada's touching, loving posthumous tribute to the Tora-san series and to Atsumi Kiyoshi.
Almost all of the principal actors from" Otoko wa Tsurai yo" have cameos in the" Niji" film, and the Tora-san character even makes a surprise cameo appearance near the end of the movie hinting that perhaps
Tora is still out there somewhere.
The film ends with a dedication to Atsumi Kiyoshi.
However, in 2019 the 50th Tora-san film will be released.
Tentatively titled Tora-san, Welcome Back it will be released on December 27, 2019.
