"As perhaps befits the first Japanese color film the visual elements linger in the mind far longer and more brightly than the story elements. One remembers the pastel dresses of the two visiting Tokyo strippers set against the greens and browns of the austere mountain/ranch location and all presided over by a benign volcano long after the way too cutesy rustic comedy stuff is forgotten. Give it a B minus...."
