It should be, even though it doesn't sound like "Red Harvest"
at all... And I did a double-error trying to say that it was
from the 19th century... Oh god, now someone looks these
messages up and ends up making his/her thesis or doctorate on
Hammett claiming that he had read Collodi's play from the
19th century...
But back to the point: I've read somewhere that Kurosawa
wrote
"Yojimbo" Collodi's play in mind. I can't find the reference
anywhere, but I have a vivid picture seeing the words in
front of me.
Maybe I should get back to work.
