Notes
  • Alternate title: The secret of Naruto.
  • Audie Bock comments that "Kinugasa's 105th film shows the complete mastery of a formula he helped establish in the prewar era. Intrigue, coincidence, sex, love, loyalty, filial piety, and revenge provide all the requisite plot twists of a story revealing little of social or philosophical import. Worthy of study as a genre model, and for the superbly choreographed swordfighting of major Daiei stars Hasegawa, Ichikawa, and the frail Yamamoto. Awashima, of Takarazuka all-female theater background, adds interest in the butch role of ninja."
