The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film adhesive composition from which a polarizing film adhesive layer can be obtained which can suppress a separator peeling force and can specifically suppress increases in the separator peeling force even when stored for a long period of time after manufacture, and further has excellent durability (heat resistance) even when exposedto high temperature heating conditions and heating/humidifying conditions; and to provide a manufacturing method of a polarizing film adhesive layer, a polarizing film which includes the aforementioned adhesive layer, and an image display device that includes the aforementioned polarizing film with adhesive layer. This polarizing film adhesive composition is characterized by containing an organictellurium compound, a (meth)acrylic polymer (A), and a compound (B) which generates radicals with heat or active energy rays.
