Sorry about that. The film is actually different from the drama. First, 
the actors are different, with Karasawa Toshiaki and Toyama Kyoko in the 
lead roles. The director is Yoshida Ken, one of the directors from the 
drama. The script is by Nojima.

Karasawa is also developing into one of Japan's prominent male leads. His 
movie roles include Minna no ie and Rajio no jikan, and, apart from many 
TV dramas, he is also quite active on stage. (He's also married to 
Yamaguchi Tomoko.) The film was Toyama's big break and since then she has 
appeared in such films as Postman Blues and An Obsession, though she's 
never been anything like a big star.
