THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960)
Special Features: Introduction by George Pelecanos on March 9
The residents of a tiny Mexican village hire seven gunslingers to save them from a merciless gang of bandits in this adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI set in the Old West. Jam-packed with action, leavened by a heroic score by Elmer Bernstein and director John Sturges' trademark eye for lavish widescreen staging, it is no surprise that THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN was a hit with audiences upon release, spawning three sequels and even a television show. Led by Yul Brynner, the ensemble cast includes Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Horst Buchholz, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter and Eli Wallach as the bandit's chief. DIR/PROD John Sturges; SCR William Roberts, from the film SEVEN SAMURAI by Akira Kurosawa; U.S., 1960, color, 128 min. NOT RATED
