Vaughn's tortured character, a man who lost his courage and regained it, was well played. He just looked too damn clean all the time!All of the characters were on a mission of self-redemption. That struck a chord with me .... still working on it .....
Coburn was the epitome of a long, lanky, laconic Cowboy, the kind of man you want near you - as a friend, when the going gets ugly.
"No one throws me my own guns and tells me to ride - no one!"
And McQueen? Perfectly cast opposite Brynner, not a place many would have been comfortable in.
The other I think was perfect in his role was Eli Wallach, just as he was as "Tuco" in TGTBTU.
Did I mention that I like that movie?
