The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums [1939]
In Tokyo in 1888, Kikunosuke Onoue, the adoptive son of an important
actor, discovers that he is praised for his acting only because he is
his father's heir, and that the troupe complains how bad he is behind
his back. The only person to talk to him honestly about his acting is
Otoku, the wet-nurse of his adoptive father's child. She is fired by the
family, and Kikunosuke is forbidden to see her, because of the gossip a
relationship with a servant would cause. Kikunosuke falls in love with
Otoku, and leaves home to try to make a living on his own merits outside
Tokyo. He is eventually joined by Otoku, who encourages him to become a
famous actor to regain the recognition of his family.
