| The Magnificent Seven (1960) Cast:Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen,Charles Bronson,Eli Wallach, James Coburn,Robert Vaughn,Brad Dexter,Horst Buchholz An all-star cast highlights this classic western which not only was ahead of it's time but still holds up well as one of the best westerns ever made. The plot line concerning a group of Mexican people who hire seven hired guns to protect them from a group of bandits (Led by Wallach) has been copied over and over again but never with the same style or merit as this wonderful western which features a cast to die for. Sure some of it's silly and some of it gets somewhat muddled but this is a fine western which is worth renting for anyone who loves the classic westerns of yesterday, it's much better then "How The West Was Won" which is very overrated in my book. It's also a real treat to watch Bronson play a senstive gun fighter instead of his usual vigilante act. Plus the cast features some of the coolest actors of our time. Don't let anyone tell you any different. I love this movie and it's worth watching over and over again. D.John Sturges **** |
