Notes
  • Release date: 05/18/1956.
  • Literal title translation: Sisters of Gion.
  • Wendy La Riviere comments that "a remake of Mizoguchi's 1936 film classic, Nomura's 89th film has a choppily-paced plot which tries to enliven the trite theme of a geisha's desire for a secure homelife with frequent scene changes and plot twists. The conflict between the two sisters rarely emerges as the dramatic confrontation it might be."
