1911 John Sturges, director (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape).

Stagecoach to Somewhere – The Magnificent Seven


Human beings are obliged to make difficult decisions in hostile places.   My elder daughter when asked for a date used to filter out the potentially unworthy male by asking him to identify the characters in ‘The Magnificent Seven’.  Those not familiar with the film can be forgiven for thinking this test merely arbitrary and capricious.  But what she understood is that any man not familiar with ‘The Magnificent Seven’ will invariably be limited in their understanding of masculinity and responsibility.
