Hasegawa's influential masterpiece stars Kenji Sawada (aka pop singer "Julie") as a mild-mannered science teacher who builds an atom bomb in his flat and threatens to use it unless the Rolling Stones are allowed to play Tokyo. Bunta Sugawara (veteran of many a yakuza pic) is the cop on his tail. An unmissable cult item.
