Overview

Giants and Toys (1958)

As a new recruit to the marketing department of World Caramel, fresh-faced graduate Nishi is eager to impress his ambitious and hard-nosed boss Goda, even if it strains his relationships with his college friend Yokoyama and budding love interest Masami, who work at the rival companies of Giant and Apollo. With World's lead over its competitors slipping badly, the two spot a chance to get back in the race in the shape of the pretty but unsophisticated 18-year-old, Kyoko. Goda and Nishi get to work polishing this rough diamond as their new campaign girl, but as the three rival confectionery companies pitch themselves into an all-out advertising war that spills out onto the streets of Tokyo as it escalates to ludicrous extremes, Kyoko's newfound fame starts going to her head.
