We deal in lead, friend

The Magnificent Seven

(1960)
This was, I believe, supposed to be the big break-out English-language role for Horst Buchholz, and it might have been had he been able to tone down the accent into something less weird. A few years later, of course, he might have been able to parlay his film career into a governorship.

Not ashamed to say it: I like this even better than Seven Samurai.
