I am proud of making the masterpiece "The Seven Samurai" in Japan.
and The Magnificent 7 is great western movie,i think.
Akira Kurosawa who directed The 7 Samurai is well known
to be friendly terms with John Ford.
and the scene that seems that J.Ford's influence was obviously received
it exists in The Seven Samurai.
The scene which the horses come out is especially felt so by me.
