Movie, 1981
Return of the Champ
IMDb 10.0, 99 min, Drama, Comedy, Romance, Japan
A not-so-young "Young Guy" (Kayama) returns in this reunion feature, which takes Yuichi and Ishiyama to New York, where the former runs in the New York Marathon and romances TV producer Minagawa. A delightful throwback to Toho's '60s style filmmaking.
