THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (Theatrical Release USA 1960)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

The Magnificent Seven—a good opportunity to academically study the actor Yul Brynner—seems a little slow, but definitely is worth the watch. The all-star cast is well-received and the organization of the film shows the skill of Director John Sturges during the 1960s.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. For your time and money watch the 2016 remake of the same title. The most value in watching the 1960s story comes from an academic comparison study of the two films.
