황야의 7인 3
Producer
영화는 원작 에서 들려주던 음악을 일부 그대로 사용하면서 소재까지 전편들의 테마와 거의 유사하다. 여인들만 남은 마을을 지키기 위해 멕시코 갱들과의 총격전을 이끌면서 세명만이 살아남는 결말까지 거의 답습하고 있다. 전편들과 차이라면 악을 응징하는 떠돌이 총잡이였던 크리스가 법집행관으로 변신하여 가정을 꾸리고 정착한 인물로 등장한다는 정도일 것이다. 하지만, 주인공 크리스 캐릭터 만큼은 완전히 다르다. 전편들에서 시가를 물고있던 크리스와 달리 파이프 담배를 물고 납치되어 살해된 아내의 복수까지 가미한 그 중심에는 리 반 클리프가 있다. 귀공자 같은 율 브린너(1편,2편)와 악당 같은 캐릭터를 주로 연기한 조지 케네디(3편)가 선한 인물로 등장하던 전편들과 달리 악인인지 선인인지 분간할 수 없는 이미지의 리 반 클리프는 자비와 연민, 동정을 찾아 볼 수 없는 총잡이역과 잘 어울린다고 하겠다. 기존의 일곱명과 완전히 다른 성격의 새로운 캐릭터의 일곱명이 등장하여 기존 시리즈에서 볼 수 없었던 복수까지 가미하여 대미를 장식하고 있음에도 뻔한 줄거리로 흐르면서 신선함은 떨어진다. 게다가 사회에서 버림받은 죄수들을 사면을 조건으로 꼬드겨 죽음이 도사리고 있는 멕시코 갱단과의 싸움에 나서는 이야기는 걸작 전쟁영화 의 죄수 특공대를 떠올리게 하는 식상한 면을 엿볼 수 있다. 캐나다에서 TV드라마를 연출하며 경력을 쌓은 조지 맥코원이 연출을 맡았다. 캐나다 출신인 그는 1967년 헐리우드로 이주하여 그대로 미국에 눌러앉아 역시 TV물을 주로 연출했다. 생전에 60여편의 작품을 연출했음에도 극장용 영화는 8편에 불과한 그의 네번째 장편영화 연출작이었다. 시리즈 네편의 영화음악을 모두 작곡한 명작곡가 엘머 번스타인이 영화음악을 담당했다.
원, 투, 쓰리
Production Manager
장벽이 세워지기 직전의 서베를린. 코카콜라 지사장인 맥나마라는 사장의 딸 스칼렛을 돌볼 책임을 맡게 된다. 하지만 철없는 스칼렛은 동독의 공산주의자 오토와 비밀결혼을 한 상태다. 오토를 동독으로 쫓아 보내고 회심의 미소를 짓는 맥나마라는 스칼렛이 임신했다는 소식을 듣고 이번에는 그를 빼내오기 위해 고심한다. 게다가 사장 부부까지 베를린에 오겠다고 하자, 오토를 대자본가의 아들로 위장시키기 위해 온갖 수단을 동원하게 된다. 독일을 떠난 지 30년 가까이 됐던 와일더가 베를린 현지에서 촬영하여 동서 왕래가 자유롭던 당시 베를린의 모습을 생생하게 전한다. 정치와 사회에 대한 풍자의 극치를 보여주는 이 작품은 줄곧 카리스마 넘치는 악당으로 활약했던 제임스 캐그니의 마지막 출연작으로 그의 코믹 연기를 감상할 수 있다.
