River of No Return

Yul Brynner plays a gunslinger leading a septet of strangers to defend a Mexican village against marauders in director John Sturges’ classic Western remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai—a remake that itself inspired three sequels, a TV series, and its own 2016 remake. Brynner’s fellow gunslingers include then-rising stars Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Elmer Bernstein received his second Oscar nomination for his rousing score, whose classic main theme became arguably his most popular and widely recognized melody.
