The Magnificent Seven
Directed by John Sturges
1960
★ 6.6 editorial score
Kurosawa liked this remake of his own film enough to send Sturges a ceremonial sword: Seven Samurai relocated to the Mexican border, with Elmer Bernstein's theme doing half the work.
“"The Magnificent Seven" acknowledges in the opening credits that it's based on the legendary "Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa, but it's reached iconic status all its own as one of the grand American Westerns.”
