Great shots all--Bill. The hat Steve is wearing looks like the one that James Stewart used in several of his Westerns-stains and all.

Another: Thanks to Bill shot:

You know what was fun? Watch The Seven Samurai or The Magnificent Seven first, then watch the other and match up the characters of the seven from each film.
Sounds like a great idea!
I will do that once I get the that DvD. -
It's funny that this movie was brought back up as I have been watching my Criterion version of "Seven Samurai". I know a few have said they don't care for it but after multiple viewing's this movie is great. And to have "The Magnificent Seven" made using the same basic storyline, it's even better. I would suggest to anyone that might even be mildly interested, to rent "Seven Samurai", I think you will be surprised. Just remember that the movie is subtitled, I quickly got into the movie so the subtitle's never really bothered me.
Hi Todd, no problem from me about The Seven Samurai. I first got to see it when TCM played it about 2 years ago, and really liked it. A few months ago, TCM played it again and that made up my mind for me-and this one will be in my collection soon. -
Brynner and McQueen may have bumped heads trying to outdo each other but, I think Eli Wallach completely stole the movie as Calverra. I thought he was superb and I believe this was his first western.
Favoerite lines from Wallach:
Generosity, that was my first mistake.
If God did not want them fleeced, He wouldn't have made them sheep.
WaynamoJim, I was going to say the same thing about Eli Wallach. In fact, thanks to this film, it's what made me a fan of Wallach. This guy was absolutely brillient as the leader of the bandits.
I have never seen any of the other three sequals but I do have them when I got the f-DvD set from W-M.
