Return of the Seven (1964)
As the opening credits roll, you’ll get to hear a reprise of Elmer Bernstein’s rousing western theme from The Magnificent Seven, putting you in the mood for more of the same. Yul Brynner is the only one who “returns” though, so if your favorite one from the original was Charles Bronson or Steve McQueen, you might want to check the cast list.
Yul fans, stick around! He’s back in his signature black cowboy outfit, strutting around showing what “too cool for school” used to look like, and making it his mission to save a poor Mexican village. What’s the problem this time? A bandit wants to build a shrine to his three dead sons, and in the process he exploits the peasants and forces them to do his bidding for no money. Yul goes around recruiting six others (Robert Fuller, Warren Oats, Claude Akins, Julian Mateos, Virgilio Teixeira, and Jordan Christopher) and once they’re all saddled up and riding in stride with more Bernstein music, they can charge into town and save everybody.
As usual, sequels are never as good as their originals. Since this isn’t a full reunion of the cast (or even a partial one, really), audiences might find something lacking. It certainly tries to live up to everyone’s expectations, though. There’s a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor, plenty of cowboy strutting, and a basic good-guy-bad-guy plot that’s easy to root for.
