Cursed wall is a rather workmanlike handling of the ghost- cat theme, but nevertheless exciting. It features a young Shintaro Katsu in pre- Zatoichi days as Takeuchi Kyonosuke, brother of the cruelly slain young Shino (Mieko Kondo), a lady- in- waiting who due to machinations of rival ladies at court is wrongly accused of an illicit affair with Lord Maida's retainer Tadokoro Tenzen (Shosaku Sugiyama). Shino is slain & sealed inside the wall of a mausoleum, along with a black cat the image of which soon after begins to appear in the plaster & cannot be expunged by any method. Weird occurrances begin to trouble the castle while court intrigues proceed, & Shino's brother arrives to uncover the truth & help lay his poor sister's soul to rest. The story is overly complicated with all the court intrigue, hence a bit hard to follow, & no classic. But The Cursed Wall never lacks for spooks & action, & the swordfight choreography is praiseworthy. This story was first filmed in the silent era (1.
