Ya know Liam, this actually DID cross my mind earlier and as I started this offshoot of Det. Jim's thread.
(...and began wondering how many different threads might or could actually be started)

Ah, but can you name the seventh of the Magnificent ones, intrepid? This actor always seems to be the toughest to name, ya know.Intrepid37 wrote: ↑March 6th, 2023, 5:50 pm The three big names at the time - Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and Eli Wallach (all above the title) for The Magnificent Seven (1960) would qualify for this thread.
But the supporting players at that time - Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn subsequently went on to illustrious careers and fame. Even Horst Bucholtz had a brief acquaintance with fame following that film. So I guess, in addition to this thread, The Mag 7 could qualify for a 6 - and maybe even a 7 - thread.
And in addition to your thoughts here intrepid, I'll now add that I've always thought the two best western movie musical scores ever were Elmer Bernstein's for this film and Jerome Moross' for 'The Big Country'.Intrepid37 wrote: ↑March 6th, 2023, 7:37 pm I did know that Brad saved Frank, yes. I read Kitty Kelly's book.
Yes, it's because Brad is the only one who did not become anything close to a star that I didn't mention him.
But, The Mag 7 was my favorite movie from the age of 12 till I was about 40 - and having seen it about 70 times through the years, I 'm able to name him easily when asked.

Guess the only reason great actor Kirk Douglas didn't get on the poster is because he's "introduced" here. He sure makes a powerful impact!
Great Judith Anderson is in it too, but too briefly.
