2. Remakes: A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

The second film in our remakes theme, Sergio Leone’s 1964 movie, A Fistful of Dollars, is an unlicensed, beat-by-beat remake of Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, which we discussed last week. What value can we find in a film that so closely followed its inspiration that it engendered a lawsuit? What is the legacy of spaghetti westerns?
