Elmer Bernstein - The Magnificent Seven

Special CD edition - 27 tracks - 16-page booklet. Conceived as an old-style Western remake of Akira Kurosawa's iconic (1954) film Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven (1960) became a classic in its own right. Featuring an incredible script and cast of actors, and the fabulous score composed by Elmer Bernstein, the film was a huge box-office and remains today as one of the most repeatedly screened films on TV.

The film, directed by John Sturges, starred Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, and Steve McQueen, plus an array of supporting figures which included such future stars as Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and James Coburn.

In 2013 the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.
