I was just reading about this.	Apparently, the early westerns
influenced
Kurosawa into making Yojimbo and The Seven Samurai (which I own on DVD
and is
a magnificent purchase!), which then got remade as spaghetti westerns
(Fist
full of Dollars, and The Magnificent Seven respectively). It was a
circular
influence.
