Not many Westerns can claim to be original. Seven Men from Now can. Its making, for the B-picture arm of John Wayne's Batjac company, was a modest enterprise. The screenwriter, Burt Kennedy, was just starting out; the director, Budd Boetticher, was a matador-turned-filmmaker with only one film of distinction (The Bullfighter and the Lady) in a journeyman career; the star, Randolph Scott, was regarded as "over the hill." Yet the three men's talents blended uncannily, producing not just a terrific Western but a cinema masterpiece--an ironical, beautifully spare bit of storytelling that became the ideal showcase for Scott's sandy reticence.
You don't want anybody synopsizing the story for you; there's little of it, really, yet how it's told makes it complex and compelling. We know, from a memorable first scene, that Scott is hunting down seven men who did something terrible. He will be thrown together with several other characters, including Lee Marvin as an affable but deadly rascal with whom he shares some history. Everybody has private reasons to be traveling through Apache country. Savor every syllable of the laconic dialogue, what people say and what they don't quite say--what they think they understand about one another's motives, except that that understanding keeps getting rearranged.
Seven Men from Now went missing after Wayne's death in 1979 threw the Batjac library into limbo. (Its success had inspired Scott, Boetticher, and Kennedy to collaborate on three other remarkable Westerns--The Tall T (1957), Ride Lonesome (1959), and Comanche Station (1960)--which, because they weren't made for Batjac, we've had little trouble seeing over the years.) The movie became legendary, a Holy Grail for film buffs. Now, with a beautiful restoration on DVD, it gets to be a movie again. A great one. --Richard T. Jameson

First of all, this is in color and widescreen and the scenery is fantastic - the Arizona desert. This is not just a formulaic western with the good guys versus the bad guys, although it is that, too. The problem is we're not sure who the good guys are and who the bad guys are and sometimes they change. If you don't like westerns, this probably won't change your mind but if you're at all interested, this is worth watching for the complexity of the characters as well as some beautiful western background. ...

Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, Randolph Scott and director Budd Boetticher made a series of low budget westerns that are now considered classics of the genre. This 1956 release was the first of them.

In August 2001 I had the great pleasure of attending a theater screening of "Seven Men From Now" at the Nickelodeon Theater in Santa Cruz, CA. Long-time supporting actor Walter Reed, the hapless husband making an ill-advised wagon train trek in this film, was the guest of honor. Mr. Reed, not in the best of health, was conveyed to the theater by horse and wagon and attended by the P.E. teacher and friend who had taken charge of his physical rehabilitation in recent years after WR had suffered the loss of his ...

Maybe Randolph Scott's best movie, 7 Men from Now is an overlooked classic of the western genre. Scott is a revenge minded former sheriff, who is gunning for the 7 outlaws that killed his wife in a hold up. This familiar storyline is sparked by great supporting characters. Great performances by Scott, a young Lee Marvin and Gail Russell. Highly recommended.
