Have to watch and see.

Will they make it?

Adios, Sgt. Bostwick

Here's a few in honor of the blu ray release, and, of course, for Carl.

One of my favorites as well. Back in '65 I wrote a fan letter to the attention of Frank Sinatra at 20th Century Fox. Some publicist sent me a pressbook and 50 press stills. Still got them, Ringo.
Next time you watch this one, pay attention to Jerry Goldsmith's score. It isn't a long one, but the scene with the train in Rome is perfect.

We deal in lead, friend.

While working with the costars on Magnificent Seven, Brad got into a series of gin rummy games with Yul Brynner and lost quite a bit of his salary.
Yul thought that his dominance over Brad at cards was more than a little amusing (as well as profitable) and they subsequently made Taras Bulba, Kings of the Sun, and Invitation to a Gunfighter together.
I prefer to think that they were friendly rather just that Brad was easy pickins for Yul.
In one of the interviews for the making of the Magnificent Seven compiled by British TV, Brad said that of the over 40 films he made, he had most fun on Magnificent Seven.
