An Iconic Goodies v Baddies Classic Western

Advantages: A Very Rare Superstar Packed Acting Cast
Disadvantages: It Is Not Excatly Thought Provoking

...music as it is for the film itself. The main theme is definitely one of the, if not the, greatest film themes of all time and was composed by Elmer Bernstein. It is a remake of the 1954 film Seven Samurai. The cast is very impressive but in my opinion the screenplay is not strong enough for them to fully use their undoubted great acting skills. The main cast is: Yul Brynner Eli Wallach Steve McQueen Charles Bronson Robert Vaughn James Coburn Horst ...
...by Calvera (Eli Wallach). The bandits regularly raid the defenceless village stealing its food and wears. If you think of the TV series The "A" Team you'll have some idea of the general idea of the plot. Its goodies defending the weak from baddies primarily out of sympathy and for very little pay.

...They made it plain from the outset that they did not like westerns, hated watching Black and white films in general and had never had liked John Wayne.

The Singing Cowboy!

Advantages: erm..........
