The Magnificent Seven

Can you imagine anything more appropriate for Father’s Day than going to watch a bunch of Hollywood’s ’60s-era cowboys shoot guns and throw knives and ride horses and talk low, all on the big screen? It’s the Magnificent Seven, gentlemen, that much-referenced 1960 John Sturges Western, adapted from the Japanese classic Seven Samurai. Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen star in the ensemble story about a team of American gunfighters hired by a Mexican village annually terrorized by bandits. The Capitol Theatre is showing the film as part of its Sunday Classics Brunch and Movie Series. (SAm Allard)
