Futureworld (1976) – Review
Futureworld (1976) earns its 7 as a lean 1970s paranoid thriller. Cheesy, dated, and genuinely unsettling.
Yul Brynner won Best Actor for The King and I, having played the role on Broadway more than four thousand times, and shaved his head for it and never grew it back.
The Magnificent Seven and Westworld gave him two very different kinds of gunfighter, the second being an android whose malfunction the film treats as inevitable. He invented several biographies for himself over the years, including Mongolian and gypsy ancestry, and recorded an anti-smoking message to be broadcast after his death from lung cancer.
