The maker of the movie in the top left sued the maker of the movie in the bottom and won the case. This is despite the fact that both movies borrowed heavily from the novel in the right without due credit. The director who won the lawsuit later claimed that he made far more money out of the suit than from the movie. Both movies are extremely famous. Identify.Answer: The movies are Yojimbo by Kurosawa and Sergio Leone's Fistful of dollars. The novel is "Continental Op" by Dashiel Hammett. Leone was sued by Kurosawa but Leone claimed the idea is from Hammett's work (there are several similarities between the 3 works - for example, in all 3 works, the protoganist is nameless). Arvind, Hirak, Rajeev, Manix, Pappu, Iam, two anons, Raghu, athreyat, Rahul Trivedi, Anshul, Rajesh, Terms of Service, Swapnaa and J got it. Well done.

Kurosawa sued Sergio Leone for adapting Yojimbo into A Fistful of Dollars. Their inspiration was Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest, which in turn was inspired from Carlo Goldoni's eighteenth-century play Servant of Two Masters.
yojimbo and fistful of dollars were both based on dashiell hammett's 'red harvest'.
Nice. Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars & Red Harvest.
The first film is Yojhimo, the second is Fistful of Dollars (though I could have sworn that was the scene from The good, the bad and the ugly) and the book is The Red Harvest.
