Red Harvest

Red Harvest (1929) is a Dashiell Hammett story of a nameless detective, The Continental Op, whose client is killed before they met. For reasons that the reader can only guess, he takes the endeavor of cleaning the gang-filled city of Poisonville. It is frequently asserted that the plot was the inspiration for Yōjimbō, a 1961 film by Akira Kurosawa. Yōjimbō in turn was later remade as A Fistful of Dollars, a spaghetti western directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, and remade, yet again, in a 20th century "gangster" genre, as Last Man Standing, starring Bruce Willis.
