Summer Film Classics: The Magnificent Seven

Rated PG-13, 128 min. Directed by John Sturges., Starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Eli Wallach, Brad Dexter, Horst Buchholz and Robert Vaughn.

The basic outline was adapted from Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai and made into an American Western by one of the innovators of the genre, John Sturges. The film led the way for other all-star cast outings, and provided the theme music (by Elmer Bernstein) for a zillion Marlboro cigarette commercials before the ads were evicted from the airwaves.
