Tora-san and movie parodies

[Alexander Jacoby]

The later Tora-san films begin with a pre-credit sequence which contains a parody of a famous movie or film genre. This is not the case in the first few films, but is well-established by the mid to late seventies. Can anyone tell me, though, exactly when these movie parodies began to be a feature of the series?
