“The best scene Steve McQueen ever had was in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN when Eli Wallach had recaptured the Mexican village and asked The Seven why they took the job. McQueen takes it upon himself to answer: "I knew a guy once who took off all his clothes and jumped a mess of catcus. Folks asked him why he would do such a thing." Wallach: "And? What did he say?" McQueen: "It seemed like a good idea at the time" To me, that became the ulitmate tough/cool guy answer for the usually incredibly crazy situations they got into: "It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time.”
