"Gakuseiyaro to Musumetachi" (Students and daughters), which was released in 1960, was a masterpiece that fully reflected Nakahira's style of ensemble casting, a method of casting in which, rather than one actor being singled out as the main character, a number of actors shared billing.
昭和35年（1960年）の『学生野郎と娘たち』では、主人公を一人に限定せず多くの登場人物を等価に描くという中平流群像劇の方法論を結実させた快作となる。
