Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Akira Kurosawa's rousing Seven Samurai was a natural for an American remake--after all, the codes and conventions of ancient Japan and the Wild West (at least the mythical movie West) are not so very far apart. Thus The Magnificent Seven effortlessly turns samurai into cowboys (the same trick worked more than once: Kurosawa's Yojimbo became Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars). The beleaguered denizens of a Mexican village, weary of attacks by banditos, hire seven gunslingers to repel the invaders once and for all. The gunmen are cool and capable, with most of the actors playing them just on the cusp of '60s stardom: Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn. The man who brings these warriors together is Yul Brynner, the baddest bald man in the West. There's nothing especially stylish about the approach of veteran director John Sturges (The Great Escape), but the storytelling is clear and strong, and the charisma of the young guns fairly flies off the screen. If that isn't enough to awaken the 12-year-old kid inside anyone, the unforgettable Elmer Bernstein music will do it: bum-bum-ba-bum, bum-ba-bum-ba-bum.... Followed by three inferior sequels, Return of the Seven, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, and The Magnificent Seven Ride! --Robert Horton
Description:
Spectacular gun battles, epic-sized heroes and an all-star cast that includes Academy Award® winners Yul Brynner* and James Coburn**, together with Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach and Charles Bronson, make The Magnificent Seven a legend among westerns. Spawning three sequels and a successful television series, and featuring Elmer Bernstein's Oscar®-nominated*** score, thisstunning remake of The Seven Samurai is "a hard-pounding adventure" (Newsweek) and "an enduringly popular" (Leonard Maltin) cinematic classic. Merciless Calvera (Wallach) and his band of ruthless outlaws are terrorizing a poor Mexican village, and even the bravest lawmen can't stop them. Desperate, the locals hire Chris Adams (Brynner) and six other gunfighters to defend them. With time running out before Calvera's next raid, the heroic seven must prepare the villagers for battle and help them find the courage to take back their town or die trying! *1956: Actor, The King and I **1998: Supporting Actor, Affliction ***1960

This movie is without a doubt the best western ever made, actors are the best. They just do not make movies like they use to! How unfortunate, this has no nasty language, sex or anything else but the teachings of what it reflects. Frankly, I have watched this more than 10 times and every time it has something else to reflect. A must for anyone's collection of excellent movies.

This movie is literally the beginning of Charles Bronson, James Coburn, and Steve McQueen's superstardom. This movie is to them, as "A Fistful Of Dollars" is to Clint Eastwood. It wasn't until I saw the special feature, on the making of "The Magnificent Seven", is when I rediscovered this movie all over again. The history and making of the movie is just as fascinating as the movie itself. Personally, I feel this movie contains Charles Bronson's greatest performance. The relationship, that he has ...

Seldom mentioned in discussions of "The Magnificent Seven" is the appearance of the stunning Mexican actress Rosenda Montero, the romantic interest of the character Chico. Now in her 70's, she appeared in very few American films,(She appeared in "She," with Ursula Andress) but had a big career in Mexican movies. I would love to have seen more of her exotic beauty in "Seven," but there were only a few shots of her. I think she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in a film, in terms of ...
