Charles Bronson was a contemporary of Lee Marvin’s. He hardly needed Marvin’s advice as to how to portray someone who had lived through a life. Both were World War II veterans who had been awarded the Purple Heart.
totally agree with you. I found that kind of laughable. In fact growing up around coal mines, he probably could have taught Marvin a thing or two. Bronson had a much more difficult life than did Marvin. It is interesting though, with Dirty Dozen Marvin was the star, and later on when they made that movie together, Bronson was the star.
Saying Marvin was given a purple heart for bravery is incorrect--you get one for being injured (every time you're injured in the American military). Other medals are given for bravery. Lee Marvin himself pointed this out to Terry Wogan during a TV interview. Having said that, it takes guts to be in a battle in the first place!
Probably Roger Moore Moores posh Brit accent caused a drunken Marvin to take a swing at him, not realising that Moore was the son of a tough South London copper Afterwards Marvin said don’t ever challenge Roger Moore to a fight. It’s like being hit by a refrigerator
Funny, my Dad was born less than a year after Lee Marvin and also volunteered in World War 2. When he died I found an old photo of him when he was 13, playing a violin. I never would have guessed it!
I especially liked his performance in "The Ship of Fools" starring opposite Vivian Lee. Marvin was one hell of an actor for sure. He once said during an interview, to keep from being challenged by tough guys, he'd buy them all drinks.
This video sounds exactly as I would have imagined Lee Marvin to have been. I wouldn't have expected any less. That's kind of the guy we saw as an actor.
In the eighties, I was a airline employee . Marvin was out of the boarding gate away from the waiting passengers . At that time, Concord was taking off. I was talking to coleages admiring the spectacular take off. Marvin looked at us, and spat on the foor. Not a nice person!
Marvin's Alcohol history reflects his Deep PTSD from war service. Unrecognised in the 50s to 70s, led to his demise personally and career wise. Truely a Greek Tragedy.
@@dennisyoung4631 you dont have to tell me buddy. Trust me I know it all too well. and some sick fucks actually think its funny or something to ridicule
I could be wrong ( 13:54 ), but I don’t recall any scenes in the film, The Dirty Dozen, where there is someone jumping off of moving train? As a matter of fact, I can’t remember any scenes involving trains period!
The U.S. Navy first authorized the Combat Action Ribbon on 17 February 1969. The Navy ribbon was originally retroactive to March 1961; in 1999 it was made retroactive to 7 December 1941
Lee Marvin was a hero. He is the third most visited grave site at Arlington National Cemetery. Doesn't matter who said he wouldn't work with him. He drank - so what...imagine what he embraced fighting the wars.
There was nothing, nothing like Marvin Point Blank. Ive watched it hooked so many times. He is amazing at any age. We loved him. Amazingly he wasn't in The Magnificent Seven.
Lol, that's funny! U do realize that Lee was a marine scout sniper who saw action in ww2 in the battle of saipan and was wounded and laid up the hospital for a year! So i am quite sure he isn't afraid of anyone, especially draft jogger Wayne, sir !
@@davidanderson3684 Lee Marvin was a bully and mouthed off to the wrong people more than once. As to John Wayne, he was married with children and was never drafted. He did volunteer but Republic Pictures had it blocked because he was their biggest star and the studio would fold and they were doing training films for the Army. He also did work for the OSS and got a commendation for it. Read some biographies Fonzie.
@okjoe5561 other famous actors had family too and served, but Wayne and the studios made their mission for Wayne not served! And a lot of ww2 vets didn't care for Wayne and he wasn't a choir boy either and when Wayne co director the green berets alot of nam vets including special forces said that movie was laughable and the only actor they respected was Aldo Ray who was UDT 17 and served in ww2 and Wayne was pissed at him for coming to the set for being drunk all the time!
How come the greatest film of his career The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was not mentioned that probably boosted his career before any other film of his
@@EmanonikI noticed there are also showing a an army 10th mountain division. While Marines currently do not wear patches on their uniforms they did during world War II. Also $27 a week was a big step up from 26 dollars a month in the Marine Corps
I'm surprised they didn't mention the film "Shout at the Devil" based on the novel by Wilbur Smith, Lee marvin was excellent in that film alongside Roger Moore.
As a matter of fact "Prime Cut" and "Emperor of the North" are both good and interesting movies, even if they may have been box office bombs back then.
I never realized just how much Lee Marvin looked like Marvin Gaye 'till I saw those stamps. Maybe that's why their parents gave them both the same name...maybe.
I really liked Marvin as an actor and truly admire his body of cinema work. But I’d be inclined to say he was probably somewhat of a bully and general prick growing up in his adolescent and early teen years. But I could be totally wrong….
What is kind of odd about THE PROFESSIONALS. Marvin is playing Lancaster, and Lancaster is playing Marvin. I think someone else who might not have cared for working with Marvin was Robert MItchum. They also only made one film together. While Marvin could be difficult for sure, he arrived drunk on the set of MONTE WALSH, and the director said, no filming today. The studio backed the director up, Lancaster, could also be difficult ot work with. Joan Rivers mentioned this on THE SWIMMER, and Don Rickles on that Submarine film with Clark Gable. He always wanted such perfection. Odd that Lancaster would not want authentic weapons though for the period.
Came back and finished watching this... oh well... Should have discussed far more, regarding acting ability, his Hell In The Pacific. Two actors, he and Mifune, were great in it. Fantastic character study makes dialogue secondary.
Burt Lanchaster was an ass. He had scenes rewritten to make his character the biggest in every movie. He also refused to work with any actor that did not agree with his political ideals. Thus you never saw Burt Lancaster work with John Wayne. Then there was the dress Burt Lancaster liked to wear.
For balance I knew a lot of people who worked with them both on set and found they had nothing good to say about Rodger Moore finding him arrogant and rude to staff difficult on set. They found Marvin friendly open and good natured towards others the exact opposite of their opinions about Moore. Moore wasn't liked at all and I didn't hear a good word about him from those who had to work with him..
he was shot in the ass, WTF check your facts, this is from his own mouth, purple heart for getting shot in the ass, he hated talking about it. great actor and one of my favourites
A close shaved & well dressed Marvin looked an awful lot like Johnny Carson in a lot of these photos, including the one where they are together on the Tonight Show.
Two Alphas have to clearly establish boundaries, an understanding of each other and a truce. Just like when we were kids on the playground, Lee and Burt might have become the best of friends had they just been allowed to duke it out on the set right then and there. Too much pent up frustration for men. They have to release it somehow.
This video is all over the map. Postage stamp with a Caribbean guy on it and not Marvin and the Statue in his honor was Stallone's Rocky? Marvin starred in Death Hunt with Bronson in 1981 and it was left out. Poorly done

In my book, anyone who is "tight-fisted" when it comes to the division and sharing of "family wealth" with their own offspring is a "GRADE-A-PLUS-PRICK" !!! This would include tight-fisted actors Lee Marvin and Jerry Lewis.
Lee starred in some of my all-time favorites. Could easily see from his childhood and teen years where he may have been inclined to be not so likable later on.
He was in MO a very handsome man and a better actor than most, even today. I seeto remember that there was a young man who came forward seeking to get $$, after Lee's death as his gay love interest. Not sure how that ended. Anyway, great actor.

The Purple Heart is not awarded for bravery it is awarded for being wounded.
Exactly.
"Emperor of the North" was a great movie. I never understood why anyone would think of it as a "flop."
Because it didn't make any money.
It is a great movie, but the film was not a box office success. One of the actors on the film, Ernest Borgnine lamented that fact.
Wow, Lee Marvin and Marvin Gaye looks so alike on that postage stamp
Lol
And Rocky in that statue.
Well he did say he wouldn't mind playing Gaye.

You gotta be wounded in battle, and you probably end up being taken out of the battle because of your wounds.
@@JackMorgan-fg9cw Yes, I should have said wounded, not injured.

Probably Roger Moore
Moores posh Brit accent caused a drunken Marvin to take a swing at him, not realising that Moore was the son of a tough South London copper
Afterwards Marvin said don’t ever challenge Roger Moore to a fight. It’s like being hit by a refrigerator
OMG. "Never judge a book by its cover." !!!😁
Roger Moore was also a student of GGM Victor Kan-Bruce Lee’s older Kung fu brother under Ip Man.

You keep showing Billy Bob Thornton when talking about Marvin! Also, Emperor of the North is a great movie, not exactly a flop.
Yes it is, but it did not do well at the box office.
One of my faves thanks for this .he was humble and was buried in Arlington. Without accolades.
Love the stamps of Marvin Gaye and the statues of Rocky...
yes I had to have a double take on that..haha
Lee was the real deal...From his beginning to his end, never gave a bad perforance..Thanks Lee....
I especially liked his performance in "The Ship of Fools" starring opposite Vivian Lee. Marvin was one hell of an actor for sure. He once said during an interview, to keep from being challenged by tough guys, he'd buy them all drinks.
Marvin WAS the person he play. A joy to watch.. even watching the same film several times.
I wish somebody would’ve posted what actor would not work with him instead of having to go through and listen to all this
Unseen ..never again.
Why didn’t you so the rest of us wouldn’t have to?
Marvin Gaye stamp 🤣

Don't care when they say he was still a Legend.
Godspeed Lee 🙏 🙏

So the USMC uniform is a pair of shorts and boxing gloves! 😂

That final section on the "Sons of Lee Marvin was quite good!

This video has so many mistakes that I don't even know where to start.
The creator doesn't know if he wants to post a serious video or just play a game of finding out mistakes.
I've watched _Twelve O'Clock High_ twelve times and never noticed Lee Marvin. 🤔
He was behind a mountain in one scene and out of frame in another.(Sarcasm)
@leblancgeorges1479 C'mon man, I watched 12 times at least.
Didn’t know Lee Marvin was a black guy, what else have I missed in life.😊
Lee Marvin, Marvin Gaye. What’s the difference?
Lee Marvin was a hero. He is the third most visited grave site at Arlington National Cemetery. Doesn't matter who said he wouldn't work with him. He drank - so what...imagine what he embraced fighting the wars.
Wow! I didn't know Marvin Gaye was really Lee Marvin in disguise.
Point Blank is a stand out Lee Marvin movie.
What a crock. He was an actor. He didn't split the atom.
The picture on the stamps looks like Marvin changed A LOT! LMAO
I loved him in Bad Santa
He served Freedom in War. Got PTSD. He drank to cope. And made the studio millions. Do the math.
Dick Shawn in the role of Jack Warden...
There was nothing, nothing like Marvin Point Blank. Ive watched it hooked so many times. He is amazing at any age. We loved him. Amazingly he wasn't in The Magnificent Seven.
Marvin liked to sucker-punch people. He never tried that on John Wayne or Ernest Borgnine, though, they were both bigger and stronger than him.
Off Set?

Couldn’t agree more one of the best movies ever and he was perfect as Liberty. “You heard him dude, pick it up!”
Yep, he had that mean strek😮
Yeah, it got a very brief mention.
My favourite was Cat Balou.
My father in law was just like Frankie Billeu looks and personality, I really loved that man.
Me too! They should have given Marvin's horse an Oscar!
Monte Walsh is a great film about growing older
One thing Lee didn't need to do was visit bars to study alcoholics.
Cruel .... but still funny

The one picture you showed wasn’t Lee Marvin, it was Billy Bob Thornton
Jack Warden isn't Dick Shawn, and Billy Bob Thornton isn't Lee Marvin. Who fact checks this stuff? I quit watching. What else was incorrect?
Marvin Gaye confused with Lee Marvin. I'm surprised that they didn't show a close-up of a Monopoly card of Marvin Gardens.
He played a drunk in Ship of Fools around 1960.
Judging by his son's behavior at Pali High, in 1970, Lee wasn't much of a father.
I was born under a wandering star 🌟 a wandering wandering star 🌟
Watching this video is a good drinking game. Take a shot for each flub you see.
The man who haunted himself.
