James Coburn

We know him for Our Man Flint and In like Flint. But for a time. He was part of the group I called the bad guys. Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin. They mostly was playing villainous roles like Coburn in the fifties.

And slowly during the sixties or late fifties their image beg-inned to go through a changed. Coburn, became our american James Bond, just a little less trained. But worth the effort. And he played the two movies with sternness. Of course he was part of the first Magnificent Seven squad of renegade cowboys. And somehow is like others over looked as a great actor.
