Collection Yul Brynner
The two pairs of spurs presented here were worn by Yul Brynner in the role of Chris Adams during the filming of The Magnificent Seven (1960).
Screen-used costume accessories, they were an integral part of the Western outfit designed for the character, whose dark, streamlined silhouette contrasted with that of the rest of the group. Brynner, who was particularly attentive to his on-screen appearance, took part in selecting certain elements of his costume, including these spurs, which are visible in several scenes of the film.
Directed by John Sturges, The Magnificent Seven is the American adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai. Shot in Mexico, the film brings together Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, and Horst Buchholz as a group of mercenaries hired to defend a village. The film has since become a classic of the Western genre and one of the most iconic roles of Brynner’s career.
