One of the fascinating pieces of trivia below is true*, the other is false. Do YOU know which is which?

Seven Samurai (1954)

1) Akira Kurosawa’s original idea for the film was to make it about a day in the life of a samurai, beginning with him rising from bed and ending with him making some mistake that required him to kill himself to save face. Despite a good deal of research, he did not feel he had enough solid factual information to make the movie, but came across an anecdote about a village hiring samurai to protect them and decided to use that idea. Kurosawa wrote a complete dossier for each character with a speaking role. In it were details about what they wore, their favorite foods, their past history, their speaking habits and every other detail he could think of about them. No other Japanese director had ever done this before.

2) Despite the film’s title, there are only three samurai featured in the entire film. Director Akira Kurosawa suffered from extreme innumeracy and was unable to discern even the simplest of numbers. No one dared to correct him due to an incident where Kurosawa flew into a rage and eviscerated a courier for pointing out to him that he was wearing too many shoes.
