Progress: Luckily I didn't focus on the Yojimbo aspect solely because I was incorrect--Fistful of Dollars was second. It was Leone who was influenced by Kurosawa NOT the other way around. I've watched the movie a couple of times and have looked over the readings--still having problems trying to compare a spaghetti western to an american western. Need to grab that book from Rhodes, hopefully it will answer some questions and clear the air.
