| Overview: | An entertaining and boisterous film by Morita Yoshimitsu, the director of a series of renowned films including "The Family Game", "Lost Paradise", and "Copycat Killers".
Nagashima is a playboy who refuses to be tied down by marriage. Suffering from insomnia recently, he is eager to find a glamorous girl who can make him fall asleep. He leaves his tiresome girlfriend Mari, and soon finds himself trapped in dangerous triple liaisons involving two nightclub hostesses and a dewy-eyed girl. When all three of them start pestering him about marriage, Nagashima makes up his mind to flee.
Like other realistic works of Morita's, "24-Hour Playboy" reflects the changing values towards love, sex, and marriage in Japan in the early 1980s.
