- Studio: Alpha Productions
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 150 Mins
Overview:
Director John Sturges (The Great Escape, Gunfight at the OK Corral) was extremely fortunate in securing a near-perfect cast for this enduringly popular western reworking of the Japanese classic, Seven Samurai. Not content with forging a new iconic image for King of Siam Yul Brynner as a black-clad gunslinger, he also created key star-making roles for 1960s sensations Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson. The use of Panavision landscape is glorious to behold, Eli Wallach is a suitably slimy villain and the action sequences are tremendously exciting. There's also one of the greatest musical themes ever written for a movie in an altogether fine brass-led score by composer Elmer Bernstein. If you've never seen it, don't miss. And if you have, enjoy again a visit south of the border with some old and trusty amigos. By the way, the one nobody can remember is Frank Sinatra's friend, Brad Dexter.
