i would have enjoy this movie slightly more have not be for jason ( herb ) evers constant harp on experiment . many early reviewer of the seven samurai accuse toshiro mifune of overact . yet and a more and more critic view that film they saw it a be purposefully do . jason evers be obviously not toshiro mifune and and his overacting be exactly that . most of the actor in this b classic be rather good actor and minus evers and the showgirl . if you watch this movie and you would have notice evers shout almost every line and that be until he be smoke and blow the smoke coolly out his nose . the special effect be par for the course in a b movie such a this one . in hindsight and there isn not much that stand out in my mind a fantastically good or bad for this movie .
