Yojimbo vs. Fistful of Dollars
return to calendar


Tuesday, March 7 and 14


Okay. Last month we groused about bad remakes of great originals. And we showed them side-by-side.

Now. We indulge in a success story. Not only did Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars (1967) borrow heavily from Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo (1961), Kursosawa sued Leone and MGM and won a percentage of the gross from Leone's film. He later said he made much more money on the remake than the original.

Tonight. As with all Two 4 Tuesday offerings...
We show two films at once that have some relation to each other; whether by subject, title, actors, or total whimsy. Each film is shown on two screens each. And we switch the soundtrack between each seating. So. If you'd like to watch a specific film come to the screening with that Audio playing and the other film will play in your periphery as it enters your very deep subconscious.
