  (1961)
Yojimbo the Bodyguard
Masterless samurai Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Toshiro Mifune) finds himself in a feud-torn Japanese village in legendary director Akira Kurosawa's darkly comic film, which served as the prototype for Clint Eastwood's A Fistful of Dollars. After pretending to work for merchants on both sides of the feud, Kuwabatake is imprisoned for treachery. And he escapes in time to watch the two warring factions destroy each other, just as he had intended.
