...'You came back, a man (and woman) like you...why?' Eli Wallach - Mexican Bandit Leader...'The Magnificent Seven' (1960) In my view. (and trust me, I am an expert) the best one liner in the whole film. While Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen were trying to upstage each other, Eli Wallach was easily the most plausible and believable character, and just got on with his role professionally....next time you watch it, pay attention to Eli whenever he puts his gun in his holster.....he always looks down to check...he had a horror of missing the holster and looking like a right wally!
