I have read a few stories on this topic, and wondering what the rift was between them.

I read they were friendly on the "NEVER SO FEW" set, but the problems began on "THE MAGNIFICENT 7", because McQueen was obsessed with his rivalry with Brynner, and ignored his partners, only trying to get more close-ups. It went even worse on "THE GREAT ESCAPE", and in an interview in 1970, Bronson said McQueen was not a "real professional".
In McQueen's ex-wife Neile Adams' book MY HUSBAND, MY FRIEND, there's an amusing photo of Bronson clownig around in McQueen's arms, and they seem to have a lot of fun. Who knows ?

In the making-of of "The Magnificent 7" it is said about the friendship between the 7.It is referred something like: McQueen was more close to Bronson as much as someone can be close to him.

Marshall Terrill's book on McQueen quotes stuntman Loren Janes, who doubled for Bronson, McQueen, and Frank Sinatra on "Never So Few" referring to the trio as "the three devils" because of all their fun hijinks on the set such as short-sheeting others and setting off firecrackers.

Sinatra and Bronson...now there is a combo! |

uh, I read Harriotts new book, "Charlie and me". last year and Harriott says that Steve Mcqueen and Charlie were close friends for years. Charles Bronson used to complain and tease Steve about how Steve cut up on the set, where as Bronson was always professional and did his lines like a pro. Bronson would bust Steve's chops about the cutting up part, but that does not mean they didn't get along. They did.
