«Мужчине живётся трудно. Фильм 26: Песня сизой чайки Торадзиро» (яп. 男はつらいよ　寅次郎かもめ歌 Отоко-ва цурай ё: торадзиро камомэута) — японская комедия режиссёра Ёдзи Ямады, вышедшая на экраны в 1980 году. 26-й фильм популярного в Японии киносериала о комичных злоключениях незадачливого чудака Торадзиро Курума, или по-простому Тора-сана. По результатам проката фильм посмотрели 1 млн 889 тыс. японских зрителей[2]. В этом фильме, в одном из немногих из цикла «Мужчине живётся трудно», главный герой Тора-сан не влюблён. Этот неловкий простак подаёт себя здесь в качестве приёмного отца, таким образом смещая привычные для сериала акценты: не романтическая влюблённость движет здесь поступками героя, а доброта.
