Synopsis
A motley crew of students face "exam hell". When not studying, they hang out at a local coffee shop and flirt with the pretty waitress. She seems to take a shine to one of them, Takahasi. Takahasi prepares for the exam by scribbling crib notes on his shirt. However, the landlady takes the shirt to the launderette and he flunks. His four best friends who live across from him, also fail, but his fellow lodgers all pass. Ironically, it's the graduates who leap from the frying pan to fire - job hunt hell. Takahasi and his friends enroll for another term at college and become cheerleaders.

Thoughts from Ozu
One could say this is the flip side of I Graduated, But... The student-protagonist scribbles his crib notes on his shirt sleeve, but the day of his graduation exam, the girl at his boarding house unwittingly takes the shirt to the launderette So naturally, he flunks. However, those who pass and graduate in high spirits cannot land any job, while the ones who flunked can continue to bum around living off their parent's money. It's a vignette. Although Ryu Chishu has appeared in my previous films, it was the first time I let him have a go at a more significant role.

Personal Thoughts and Comments
Unfortunately, I have been unable to see this film. Hopefully I will be able to see this in the near future.
