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.
We deal in lead, friend.
I was reading Dexters bio over on IMDb and he's quoted as saying that in The Magnificent 7, he's the one nobody remembers. -
Brad Dexter was a real good character actor. Though I thought he was just ok in this movie. But in The Magnificent 7 he was very good. I didn't like the way they killed him off, though. It was like the producers said, hurry up and get rid of this character. I also thought, he was excellent in Last Train From Gun Hill as Anthony Quinns ranch foreman and top gun. He really looked like someone you didn't want to cross.
