Aoi Sanmyaku

[Machine Translation] A literary coming-of-age epic based on Yojiro Ishizaka's famous newspaper novel, featuring a cast of Nikkatsu youth stars including Sayuri Yoshinaga, Hideki Takahashi, and Mitsuo Hamada. Directed by Katsumi Nishikawa. --The story is about an eccentric girl named Terasawa Arako (Yoshinaga Sayuri) who transfers to Sadashuku Girls' High School, a traditional school located in the castle town of Tokyo, and is forced to leave because of a love affair. Rumors abound that she was expelled from her previous school due to a love affair, which arouses the animosity of her classmates. Shinko comes to her homeroom teacher, Yukiko Shimazaki ( Izumi Ashikawa ), with a love letter. The letter is full of misspellings and female characters that resemble a man's handwriting... It is clearly not the writing of a college student, and Shinko insists that it must be a prank by her classmates. Angered by the students' despicable behavior, Yukiko consults with the school doctor, Numata ( Nitani Hideaki ), who happens to be there at the same time. Numata advises Yukiko, who is furious to get to the bottom of the matter, not to stir things up. Numata, who secretly loves Yukiko, is worried that she will always have a positive attitude. A few days later, Yukiko tells her students about the love letter, but she is met with strong opposition, and this eventually leads to a huge commotion that shakes the entire town...
