		The Magnificent Seven is a John Sturges western film of 1960, a remake of Shichinin no samurai, better known as The Seven Samurai.

		However, of the seven main stars of the film, they were the first to die in real life: Brynner died of lung cancer on October 10, 1985, McQueen also died of lung cancer on November 7, 1980.

		That being said, this tale of seven cowboys begins in a small Texas town where Chris (Brynner) and Vin (McQueen) defy the prevailing local attitude by driving a hearse carrying a dead Indian up to the town's graveyard.
		Both men are pretty confident in their gunslinging abilities and believe a righteous man has the right to be buried regardless of his race.
		In an unexpected turnabout the seven find themselves on the defensive with the choice of whether to abandon the village or take a final stand and potentially lose their lives.

		In retrospect the Western genre and The Magnificent Seven were made for one another.
		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.

	DVD Savant Review: The Magnificent Seven
		John Carpenter said it straight: The Magnificent Seven is neither the best nor the most meaningful of the great Westerns, but it's possibly the most fun.
		This fairy tale of mercenary killers being elevated and transformed by a noble cause is not an outgrowth of the 'adult psychological' western of the '50s, but a new kind of western where history (even John Ford's history) is irrelevant, and the trappings of style and affectation are all.
		The Magnificent Seven is extremely well directed by John Sturges, an 'outdoor' director adept at keeping his heroes laconic and cool.

		But on the other hand, in order to rattle along at a suitably action-packed pace the film lacks sufficent characterisation and plot development to lift it out of the best of the rest category and into the all time greats (of the genre, that is).
		At its heart, Seven was a vehicle for six rising Hollywood stars and the established star, Yul Bryner.
		The direction is great and catches the essence of Seven Samurai brilliantly, the characters, the story and the strugglef of so few against so many.

	Tribute to The Magnificent Seven
		This page was orginally intended as a tribute to the stories of the MGM television series, The Magnificent Seven, and to its seven heroes, who flickered "once upon a time" after the Civil War in a town with no name, somewhere among the Ghost towns of the American Southwest.
		As a result, The Magnificent Seven is not currently in rotation on any U.S. cable station at the moment, though it continues to garner a loyal, loving, following as it staggers around the globe.
		The fact that the twenty-two-story legacy of The Magnificent Seven" is alive, well, and prolific in the thousands of stories, writers and readers it continues to inspire every day--long after the ashes of most other cancelled television shows have been relegated to dust--speaks to its overwhelming resonance.
