This movie has 3 scenes that take place inside a smartball parlor. You can see the metal cups on the playfield, typical of the 1950s smart ball machines. By 1960, it seems as though this style of design gave way to the YMラッキー (YM Lucky) design that just had holes in the playfield, probably making them cheaper to produce than ones with the extra metal. See the 1962 movie ハイティーンやくざ for the YM Lucky style tables.
