7 Samurai => Mag 7 => NdeM #UNO-67 ...

Attention Employee2 in Hawai'i -

Or anyone farther east still up at this ungodly hour on a Sunday evening:
The film on which 'The Magnificent Seven' was based - 'Seven Samurai' - will be shown on TCM
(without commercial interruption) commencing at 11:00 pm PDT - less than 2¼ hours from now.

Disclaimer: Even though Mag-7 is pretty much a scene-for-scene translation from Japan to Mexico, the time lag of several centuries precludes the use of NdeM narrow-gauge loco #(1)67 in the background of the exquisite Mumblety-Peg-to-the-Death episode.*   IMHO, Seven Samurai is well worth watching as a Japanese movie derived from American westerns and then re- exported back to the U.S. as the basis for a fairly good western with an exceptionally good music score (better, IMHO, than the score for 'The Alamo', which won the Oscar that year).

- Roosso Loco, aka Borscht Kuckholz (stand-in for the punk kid in Mag-7)

* For those of you not familiar with the scene in Mag-7 to which I refer, please see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.

UPDATED 05/05/15 - I have corrected all references to NdeM 267 to NdeM 167, per a post by Señor Curmudgeoño del Norte earlier today (see [ngdiscussion.net]).
