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 N
deM 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).
