		Duke Robert's story is chiefly interesting to us because he was the father of William the Conqueror, and in most of the accounts of that time it is hard to find any thing except various versions of his course toward his more famous son.
		Robert was very bold in his defiance of public opinion, and before long the old tanner sheds his blouse like the cocoon of a caterpillar, and blooms out resplendent in the gay trappings of court chamberlain.
		Robert piously held back those of his followers who would have beaten the warder in return, and said that it was well for him to show himself a pattern of humility and patience, and such suffering was meant for the good of one's soul.

	William the Bastard
		William was the bastard son of Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy, and Arlette the daughter of Fulbert, a master tanner of Falaise.
		Robert had sought permission to joining his fellow Normans who were either re-claiming Southern Italy or Sicily for Christendom, or acting as brigands and ravaging the land, depending on whose side you were.
		Robert took with him to Normandy two of the hostages that Godwin had been compelled to hand over to king Edward on his exile, his nephew, Hakkon, and his young son, Wulf.

	DVD Review - The Magnificent Seven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I never thought I’d see the day that "The Magnificent Seven" would arrive on DVD as a full-blown special edition sporting a decent widescreen transfer and both newly remixed 5.1 and original mono soundtracks.
		The "Magnificent Seven Theme" is an immediately recognizable piece of music and I can’t think of a Western made since that hasn’t liberally borrowed from its themes.
		MGM is advertising "The Magnificent Seven" as a special edition and by golly it is. First up is an audio commentary track featuring producer Walter Mirisch, assistant director Robert Relyea, Eli Wallach, and James Coburn.

	THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		The Magnificent Seven does little to redefine the archaic staidness that had beset the Western by 1960, functioning instead as the nattily decorated swan song for a passing fancy.
		It suffers from long stretches of inaction and meaningless japes and postures, and for every moment in which Coburn says "I was aiming for the horse!" when--to the admiration of a villager--picking a bandito off a horse, there are two moments devoted to a hackneyed love story or childish comic relief.
		A 45-minute documentary, "Guns for Hire: The Making of the Magnificent Seven", is also interesting, although many of the anecdotes related therein are repeated from the commentary (in the case of Wallach's story of his initial involvement, almost word-for-word).

	The Magnificent Seven
		Starring Yul Brynner, STEVE MCQUEEN, Eli Wallach, Robert Vaughn, Charles Bronson, James "Jimmy" Coburn, Brad Dexter, the immortal Horst Buchholz, some horses, and dozens of Mexicans.
		The string of spectacular failures is long, beginning with the film that brought down United Artists entirely, "Heaven's Gate." "The Magnificent Seven" spawned three successful sequels in the 60s and early 70s; but a revival of the story for TV in the 1990s failed.
		I truly don't understand this phenomenon -- I think there's something primally attractive about good guys and bad guys fighting it out on horses over dusty plains in the west, and I don't see why the genre just died.

	The Magnificent Seven (1960)
		The basis for this escape is two-fold; Sturges shifts location sufficiently to avoid direct echoes and his cast of now-stars has the requisite charisma and easy-going stance.
		The Magnificent Seven can't decide how to handle the bad guys, so it takes the middle (and worst route); instead of leaving them as ciphers, an almost elemental force, it gives them faces but no substance.
		The Magnificent Seven lacks the brooding, oppressive atmosphere of the original, so much so that we barely mourn for those slain in the climatic battle.

		Some people believe Matilda herself was responsible for Brihtric's sad fate; it is said he had rejected her marriage proposal years before, and after becoming queen she took her revenge by having him imprisoned, with or without William's consent.
		His most troublesome child was his eldest son, Robert Curthose, presumably so called because he had short legs (taking after the tiny Queen Matilda).
		Yet the king and Robert later reconciled, and when William died he left Normandy to Robert.

		Through their catharsis in the original we saw an attempt at redemption through an act of nobility on the part of the seven.
		Return of the Magnificent Seven is a good sequel that picks up ten years after the first one ended.
		Chris teams up with old pal Vin (played here by Robert Fuller) and rounds up four more men (okay they aren't a patch on the original seven, but Claude Akins and Warren Oates are pretty solid) for the rescue mission.
