Yule Bryner was THE MAN with that commanding walk/stride. My brother wanted to be Steve McQueen and my parents had to immediately buy him toy but realistic looking guns and rifles. -- and my poor father had to keep getting up in the theatre to replenish our popcorn, candy and Coca Colas. What a great childhood we had -- my brother and I -- and all of the kids in my average middle class neighborhood. We had no responsibilities except having fun, playing outside during the day and board games on weekend nights, sleep overs on Fridays and Saturdays and school during the week.

McQueen: "if you don't bend with the breeze, you break."

[@jimscribner8314]

Eli Wallach's best line was "If God did not want them sheered he wouldn't have made them sheep."

Eli, & Steve were the best actors in the movie. They made it look so easy.

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Magnificent movie with a magnificent theme!

[@stevenklein3195]

Never!

[@dextermane3126]

My all time favorite is The Good Bad and Ugly but this is right up there . The cast and score is amazing . This type of movies will never be made again . Lucky we were alive to see them

[@lilybond6485]

Yep ! Thinking back to my childhood and seeing this movie in the theatre with my parents and brother was so exciting and enjoyable. Nobody can compete with these guys today. Wish they were still here.

To this day my absolute favorite Western! Steve McQueen was gorgeous 😍 I love this man! But the whole films and the actors have been sensationally selected! The soundtrack alone basically gives me goosebumps. ❤️

[@watsoncam]

Such a great tune, this was my late fathers favourite film, I remember watching it sitting on his knee when I was about 5. I cry every time I hear the tune. RIP dad and all the fine actors in the film. And also Elmer for giving us this masterpiece.

[@karinnindel8547]

I saw this picture when I was very young and to me it was just another picture, just another good western. I did not realize that it was a classic. Now I do and it is good to recognize so. it means I have matured. I now can appreciate how good of a film it is. It s values and its message as well as how it was made. I am glad.

[@stevepatrick3913]

The best western ever made and i have seen them all sterling casting great acting great filmography i have watched this film more than 60 times it has never been bested in my view for the genre .

@Scott. Park. You mean after 60 odd years.

These were the stars I watched growing up in the 60s. As little boys we saw them as icons of masculinity, courage and kindness. Most of the current actors are movie midgets in comparison.

Great video, thanks very much!

Chef-d’œuvre total: musique, acteurs, réalisation, etc... TOUT est mythique! Un de mes westerns préférés depuis mon adolescence...

Don’t get any better than this ! How cool were McQueen and Brynner..

When I heard the san antonio symphony would be playing this I immediately purchased a ticket only for that reason & it was worth every penny! Nothing like hearing a fantastic orchestra perform it live!

[@nicoletupin4807]

Un bijou de western. Et pour l'illuminer le diamant Steve MacQueen . Je ne m'en lasse pas. Merci. ❤

[@IndependantW]

What an awesome movie! I loved it as a kid and love it even more as an old woman. I also like the irony of Yul Brynner, a Russian from Vladivistok, starring as an American cowboy in a classic western. Of course, Brynner also played the role of Taras Bulba, A Ukrainian Kozak, which was a bit "closer to home" for him. He was equally awesome in both movies.

[@actarusfleed6607]

A young Tony Curtis played Taras Bulba's son. It's such a great movie. I have it on DVD.

[@richardyoung1890]

In a movie that was based on the Japanese Directors 7 Samurai starring the great Toshiro Mifune!

I remember once as a young boy? Sitting Down with my Dad and Brother to watch a movie that Starred Yul Brynner? It was Taras Bulba . A Great Movie just like when he played Ramses in The Ten Commandments!

Easily one of the best movies Iv ever seen..love it!! Steve McQueen..class!

This musical score is sheer musical brilliance. He was able to capture the essence of the American west with instruments. Genius composer.
