Japan's most popular female actress Misora Hibari is twice as good in this story of
twin princesses separated at birth. As a result of the superstitious belief that twins
bring bad luck to the family, newborn twin girls are raised separately resulting in a tale
of intrigue and violence.
When Yukihime (Princess 'Snow') who had been sent away to
be raised by a yakuza family in Edo returned after many years to settle an old score the
die is cast for an exciting story. Hibari is still popular, even to this day, as she has
starred in many motion pictures in addition to her highly successful singing career.
Along with co-stars Okouchi Denjiro and Okawa Hashizo, this is a highly entertaining
film which should not be missed. (aka "Martial Crowd").
