Sean and Claude close out their series on foreign films and their English-language remakes with this look at another Akira Kurosawa movie, Yojimbo (1961), and its English remake, A Fistful of Dollars (1964), directed by Sergio Leone.
It's pretty clear that Kurosawa has grown since 1954's Seven Samurai, and we talk a little more about how Kurosawa and Hollywood managed to affect and inform each other's work.
COMING ATTRACTIONS: In Reel 18 we look at a pair of sports movies, but not the usual "underdog team makes good" kind of sports movies. First up is Bull Durham (1988), followed by Without Limits (1998). And if you think these two films can't be any different, think again.
