An often repeated myth is that the production of Seven Samurai (1954) and Godzilla (1954) nearly drove Toho into bankruptcy. This myth neglects to mention this film, which was another large production made by Toho and the second most expensive Japanese film up until that point, behind Seven Samurai (1954) and ahead of Godzilla (1954). All three of these films were financial risks for Toho, but there is little evidence to suggest that Toho was ever at risk for bankruptcy. The studio released a total of sixty-eight feature films in 1954, the most successful of which were Seven Samurai, this film, and Godzilla respectively. Their success would ensure Toho's position as the industry leader in Japanese cinema.
