The Magnificent Seven - "Les 7 Mercenaires"
Year: 1960
Size/Type: French Grande / Single sided / (47" x 63")
Country of Origin: France
Condition: Very Fine minus; originally folded.
Director: John Sturges
Actor/Actress: Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, Horst Bucholz, James Coburn,
Comments: John Sturges' feelgood western adventure re-making Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" with more than a hint of John Ford's "The Searchers".
Amazing foresight in casting the "Seven" as at the time the only established Hollywood star was Yul Brynner with Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, James Coburn, Charles Brobson & Robert Vaughn all yet to make real names for themselves.
A hugely influential movie which spawned three sequals, a TV Series & is referenced & copied in some form or other in literally hundreds of other productions over the years.
