  1. Akira Kurosawa's film "Yojimbo" starring Toshiro Mifune was released this day in 1961. Plagiarized by Sergio Leone in "A Fistful of Dollars" starring Clint Eastwood (1964), leading to a lawsuit.

  2. Toshiro Mifune, born this day in 1920. One of the greatest actors to ever walk the earth.

  3. #Movies . . .

    Here's one you don't see very often . . . a #SpaghettiWestern called #RedSun (1971) starring #CharlesBronson & #ToshiroMifune. I have the #DVD but just streamed it on #Tubi.

    The other film was #HellInThePacific (1968), a WWII film that he co-starred in with #LeeMarvin that is also rarely seen & that I also have on #dvd

    Two rare performances by Mifune in a US film or TV productions. Watch them if you can find them.

  5. Watched this last night, it could have been too serious but it has the requisite quality of humour to keep it on the correct side of the line.

    Mon, Dec. 2nd - 8pm ET

    Because what could be more American during a holiday weekend than going to Japan? (Though gettting tangled in other people's family drama *is* very holidayesque.)

    Directed by John Frankenheimer (?!?) who may or may not have been indulging in some very 80s substances at the time... 🤷🏻‍♀️

  12. 3 things about John Boorman’s HELL IN THE PACIFIC [1968]

    1. Devouring a raw fish.
    2. Sand garden.
    3. A discarded photograph of a young Japanese woman.

    Be sure to watch the “alternate ending,” which was the director’s preferred one.
