Tora-san's Dream of Spring (男はつらいよ 寅次郎春の夢, Otoko wa Tsurai yo: Torajirō Haru no Yume) aka Torasan Dreams Springtime[1] is a 1979 Japanese comedy film directed by Yoji Yamada.

It stars Kiyoshi Atsumi as Torajirō Kuruma (Tora-san), and Kyōko Kagawa as his love interest or "Madonna".

[2] Tora-san's Dream of Spring is the twenty-fourth entry in the popular, long-running Otoko wa Tsurai yo series.

Tora-san returns to his family's home in Shibamata, Tokyo, to find a large American peddler living in his room, leading to various conflicts.

[7] Stuart Galbraith IV notes that the American influence on this film, in the writing and in the acting, and the amusing conflicts between US and Japanese culture portrayed in the film makes it a particularly good entry point in the series for non-Japanese audiences.
