You'll note Brynner's hat stays on for almost the entire flick. The Marlboro Company's contract kept the ST for the movie from being released. The music only made it out for "Return of the 7."

I always thought it so interesting when I saw it that I recognized everybody except Brad Dexter! Oh, and my favorite personal anecdote is that I was thrilled to get to see The Seven Samurai on TV after I had seen Magnificent Seven. It was in Japanese of course, subtitled, and I had to leave the room to change the baby, so I asked my husband to turn the TV up so I could follow it. Of course that didn't do any good since they were speaking Japanese! LOL!

I played hooky from school so I could spend the day at the movies. Saw this three times! <br /><br />The music is superb. I'd always wondered why there was no soundtrack recording.<br /><br />Didn't Brad Dexter save Frank Sinatra from drowning in the ocean? That's why they became close friends. At least that's what I read a while ago.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-90220529968979895282013-09-20T11:10:32.232-04:002013-09-20T11:10:32.232-04:00That's a real oddity for such a famous score. ...That's a real oddity for such a famous score.
