On The Road with Ernest Borgnine: In The Navy and John Wayne
Вставка

- Ernie tells the story of how he wound up in the Navy for ten years, during the Depression. In WWII, he served as a first class gunner's mate, going up and down the East Coast hunting German submarines. Ernie tells about getting drunk with John Wayne. For some odd reason, I cannot recall the name of the film "True Grit."
What a great American. RIP, sir.
The man drove his own bus..and got tickled as hell to see a convoy of GI's on the road. Gotta love him.
We got us a convoy buddy! Damn I miss this Legend.
John Wayne as Cogburn said, "I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hanged in Ft. Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which will it be?" Then, Duvall as Pepper said, "I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!"
I heard that in his biography, Ernest said he regretted never working with Wayne
"FILL YOUR HAND YOU SON OF A BITCH"
He could be such a bad guy on screen and then you would see him in a re like he did on highway to heaven and he was such a sweetheart. That showed the talent he had as a real actor .the ones today could not even come close to the man he was onscreen as well as off. I have watched a few of the videos he did with this rv traveling. And everywhere he stopped people automatically recognized him. And it was nice to witness how he was just a regular man. And you could tell it was not an act. He throughly enjoyed meeting with the people in truck stops and the restaurants. And it was not a put on he was being Ernie bornine the man not Ernest Borgnine the actor. I bet his son has a lot of good memories of taking this trip especially now since Mr Borgnine is gone now. .May I suggest to the ones who read this post. Try to find a movie he did in the 50"s called (Marty) it was such a good movie wish I could have been one of the luck people to been able to meet MR BORGNINE when he was recording this series. Will sign off with this thank you MR BORGNINE for all the movies we were honored in watching.
He looks like a GORG !
He seemed like a no nonsense type of guy. The service really did make a man outta him. None of today's Hollywood actors can stand up to his classic generation
David simmons, absolutely right you are!!
Yes sir u got that Rite
My Dad was in the Navy WW2. Passed in 55. Makes me have even more admiration for Ernest Great actor of the greatest generation. And Airwolf will always be a favorite
Always loved Ernest Borgnine and hold him in the highest regards as a war hero, which he was.
I was fortunate enough to meet Erne a couple of times while he was traveling in his coach. We sat and talked for a couple of hours each time . It was a great experience with a great man. A truly lasting experience that I will not forget
Seeing his face light up as he passed the Army convoy and laid on the air horn, just made my day! HooooAaaaaahhhhh!!!
Ernest Borgnine, Jimmy Stewart the real actor heroes. Along with the other non actors millions who served.
mrbeaverstate I believe it was Jimmy Stewart who lost his only son to the war.
@@tamaraweber3296 He lost his son in Vietnam.
@@tamaraweber3296 Jimmy Stewart flew 25 bombing missions over Europe. He remained in the reserves and retired in the 1960’s as a Brigadier general.
A lot of other Hollywood Celebrities served during the war including
Don Rickles Navy
Lee Marvin Marines
Tony Curtis Navy
Bob Barker Navy
Glenn Miller USAAF Died in service. His aircraft Disappeared over the English Channel in December 1944
Leslie Howard British Military also lost in the war when his plane was shot down by the Germans
Clark Gable Should be noted that his wife was killed in a plane crash on a war bonds tour
Mickey Rooney
Robert Ryan
And Many more served
How many do you think would serve today in a war of similar size and scope.
Lee Marvin won the Silver Star plus other high citations for his bravery in the Pacific. He was always quiet about it. There’s a terrific Johnny Carson interview with him. Amazing.
I met Ernest Borgnine at a film festival back in the late 1990s. He was a big teddy bear. An extremely nice man.
Rooster Cogburn,the man with the patch.The film is true grit.
FILL YOUR HANDS YOU SONOFABITCH!
I call that Bull Talk, from a one eyed Fat man!
The WW 2 generation is one of two the greatest generations ever in the United States history. The other greatest generation are those who fought the Revolutionary War. (minute men)
Yes Sir
Bunch crybabies nowadays
Ernest Borgnine had an acting range that out shined almost all his contemporaries in Hollywood. He could play the meanest villains or the funniest comedy roles and do it convincingly and outstandingly.
This man was so great, he was a giant of a actor and he lived a great life. He appears to be as happy meeting a waitress or a ceo. He does not appear to be impressed with titles.I enjoyed all of his movies starting with Marty
what a good, decent man he was. cant stop watching these videos. sure his family was glad they did this project
"He's the Tiger of the Pacific, Quinton McHale!"
I almost forgot! Thanks!👍🏼
I saw that episode
Ernest was a great star and if was alive today he would be 99 years of age.
I liked him in “Bad Day at Black Rock”
You will be missed Ernest, such a gentleman. My condolences to your entire family,
He was our neighbor during the time he was filming Machale’s Navy and it was an adventure to say the lest
He was great in emperor of the north. Such a fantastic sadist!
Geezus the movie is TRUE GRIT.
SMH. Send a boy to do a man's job.
That was painful to listen to.......
I mean really? I guess I shouldn't be a surprised......
There is very little this generation have in common with me an my generation...
It's just sad how much we've lost...
To see Ernie here is one hellava treat!!!! Play any role, any genre, the guy is just a consummate actor real professional........
what role did he play?
Rooster Cogburn!
Fair Winds and Calm Seas from one old squid to another, I'll miss you Ernie....
PappyStu
MMC (SS)
With all due respect Sir, it's "I bid you fair winds & following seas!" (Following Seas, like a tailwind LOL) :)
Great American and a favorite of mine....
amen to that .
He certainly didn't miss anything by not being around in this 2020 debacle. Imagine looking at this simple pleasure as a luxury.
My friend and her family met Mr.Borgenine and had nothing but the best to say about him...he is wonderful to see on screen.
I used to watch him as a child in Spanish dubbed movies. I miss him. Great personality.
'You took from me the only thing I loved in the whole world! My Linda!'
Ernie on the Poseidon Adventure
Part of life that sucks as you get old is all your favourite actors die.
I miss this man. He's like family member to me.
We can all relate. Awesome.
The Last of Hollywood's REAL MEN! (JIMMY STEWART, JOHN WAYNE, ROBERT YOUNG, ROBERT MITCHUM, etc.)
I was in the Navy, HM3 (Hospital Corpsman Third Class), from 1964 - 1968. Did a lot of growing up and I still use a lot of those lessons today in retirement. I have a great deal of respect for Ernest Borgnine.
From here to Eternity. The stockade sergeant. He called Sinatra Monkey in the movie. Lol!
Marty!
That was my favorite Earnest Borgnine movie.
I was a trucker for 37 years wish i would have met him.
There has never been a movie that he was in that I didn’t like! Love this guy!
How cool is that Ernie driving his own bus
Full sail Ernie, we will miss you !
He was absolutely awesome in the Movie From here to Eternity and the Wild Bunch.
Bad Day At Black Rock!
Yep ... scared the crap out of me!
What a great actor in his heyday , the golden age of Hollywood and so ordinary and down to earth it appears from this interview. If a movie from the 50s or 60s had Ernie in it it was always worth a watch some absolute classic performances the fans here will know which ones I am talking about .
Back when hoolywood was made of actors you could admire and love! This guy is awesome!
Roster Coburn True Grit. And Mrs Borgnine I want to thank you sir for all your service. And I love everything you have done. GREAT ACTOR 👍
Member of the greatest generation.
So was my grandfather, he was an Army combat medic. Lived to be 98 and said he was on borrowed time, thought he should have died on D-Day or soon thereafter. He was blessed to make it home safely in one piece. However, it was the wounds unseen that took their toll. He rarely spoke of the war and when he did, it was brief!
God bless everyone 🕆
Enjoyed this video. Ernest was a great actor and it seems a good Guy as well. God Bless Ernest Borgnine ....
They dont make men like this anymore, really one of the last of a generation we'll never see the likes of again. And the world is by far worse off without them.
Ernie was in so many good movies, even the lesser known ones. One of my favorites is The Devil's Rain where he plays the devil, along with Tom Skerrit and William Shatner. The Wild Bunch is probably my favorite Borgnine movie ever. I grew up watching him as a kid in McHale's Navy, I loved that show.
Borgnine was a terrific actor and a Giant among Men - A gentle Giant -
Mr. Borgnine should have received an Oscar for his performance as: Dutch Engstrom in Peckinpah's masterpiece: THE WILD BUNCH!
Such a versatile actor either playing a heavy or likeable character .
Ernest Borg, Seven of Nine.
just a wonderful person....
Walter Palmer: I agree, a wonderful man and a great actor.
I agree. .A wonderful good man ..
I used to love it when Dennis Miller had Borgnine on his radio show..... He had a lot to say and was down to earth...
One of my favourite old day actors!
I think the only old dude who was cooler than my grandpa had to have been this guy...they don't make them anymore like this. Damn shame
Dan Schneider h
Dan Schneider My Grandkids think I am cool . A lot morw cool Grampas out there now than when I was young .
Erny was very affable, that's not a very common trait for men his age, those men were hard as nails, and had a lot to be respected for, but being pleasant to hang out with, wasn't one of them, there were a lot of grumpy old bastards.
Baby boomers that are now grand parents where shaped by the 60s, the generation before was shaped by the depression.
Poseidon Adventure was one of my favs
I totally agree. My other fav. roles/films were Willard and of course McHales Navy. Poseidon though is by far my fav. of his many outstanding roles.
Loved that one too. Was also in one of many stars in a movie with an awesome name:
Bad Day At Black Rock
Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Anne Francis, Lee Marvin, Dean Jagger and Walter Brennan also starred in this post WW 2 western noir classic.
Those soldiers in the convoy had no idea who was honking at them. GM1 Borgnine you are class sir.
Even when he’s driving on “personal” time he’s the epitome of a professional. He knows there’s a camera on him, he knows what to do. That is just flipping awesome 👏
He played the cab driver in Escape from New York,drove Snake 🐍 plissken around the prison city, 😆!!!JUST SAYIN, LATERS!!!
Ernest was a straightforward and down to earth character actor, who appeared in so many marvellous films. He’s sadly missed.
the one and only Mchale a part he was born to play
That's Something You Hardly Ever
See Is A Movie Star Driving His Own Bus Sounds Good To Me That's The way For Star To Meet
His Fellow Americans. Two Thumbs Up Ernest.!
The best two lines in TRUE GRIT - Duvall: "THAT'S MIGHTY BOLD TALK FOR A ONE-EYED FAT MAN!" Wayne: "FILL YOUR HANDS YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"
Iworked at white front as a cashier Mr Borgnine use to shop there.A class act.
Ernie! Ernie! He drove the fastest bus in the west........."Good Ole Ernie!" 🍀
Ernest Borgnine was a real American. Most Hollywood actors were self centered and looked down on their audiences, but Ernie never thought of the little man as little. He was a great actor too.
Emporer of the North! Was hoping to meet him in the Lodge in Richmond, Va
Ernest Borginine was a great guy. He'll be deeply missed.
"Marty"--brilliant performance, 'nuff said.
I guess if I was interviewing Ernest Borgnine while he was driving his bus, I'd be a bit too in awe to remember details such as True Grit and Rooster Cogburn. He just seems like the real deal, a genuine regular Joe. I wish we had as many people like that today as we used to.
My favorite film of his is the wild bunch man what a film. Also cabbie from escape from New York.
True Grit fellows!
Ernest was a part of the greatest generation along with my grandfather who served as an Army combat medic. Lived to be 98 and always said, he was on borrowed time. He thought he should have died on D-Day or soon thereafter. He was blessed to make it home safely in one piece. However, it was the wounds unseen that took their toll on him. He rarely spoke of the war and when he did it was brief!
The only issue I have with Ernest is he was a freemason. I don't trust any of them as far as I can throw them. They certainly aren't Christian and more than likely are all satanists.
May God have mercy on his soul.
God bless 🕆
The lower levels have on idea who is at the top; they are being used as cover.
@@johnchristopher20 I totally agree. Lower freemasons are just scapegoats
Loved this actor! A true patriot and skilled actor!
Incredible hearing how prior to Mc Hales' Navy he served in the Navy for 10 years.
One of the greats !
Ernie is a honorary CPO, and was on our ship during a Great Lakes Cruise. He went and had to see all of the crew. Will never forget him.
This interview is like talking to my Dad on FaceTime. Hmmm, I just had an idea 💡
Is he COOL, or what?
Wonderful man and he won a Oscar for Marty.He played nice guys like Marty and sadists like the sergeant in From Here to Eternity or the heavy in Bad Day at Black Rock.RIP
Well, you can tell the interiewer didn't know much about John Wayne. Everyone knows the the one where he wears a patch
seekr34 damn right pilgrim.
There's actually 2 that he wears the patch in, True Grit and Rooster Cogburn.
I love this guy. I worked with him when he was present of the SAG.
So different from most of the actors today. RIP, sir.
Oh yeah that's Earnest all right. Hell of a man, actor, veteran, etc. Not many guys like him. He could play any character given. R.I.P good sir. You have done your country proud. 🙏🏼🇺🇸🌎
A lot of memories of Mr B Growing up. RIP EB.........
You had a blast and thank you for sharing.
Lousy interviewer. I met Mr. Borgnine once and he was a very affable man with a wonderful laugh. I remember the experience as if it was yesterday.
Bill Jenkins Ikr ? Not a very guarded person
Bill Jenkins : I wouldn't necessarily say that very young interviewer was lousy,.......but he sure didn't know crap about the movies ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If I'm not mistaken that's Ernie's nephew.
At 3:20 his CB tells him they’ve got a Convoy ahead of them. That’s Dirty Lyle!!
He has his pants undone just driving down the road. What a great character.
Great man great actor always love him
How can you not remember TRUE GRIT?
McHales Navy Rules! Navy Veteran Here
Different generation, totally different mindset. This generation would have no problem today. We are in trouble because this generation is confused. Totally confused.
machia0705 That is putting it mildly, lol. Frightening to think one one them will be president of the USA one day.SMH
3.55 he turns into a 12 year old kid!
My favorite show and actor. McHale
Rooster Cogburn in True Grit..He said to Robert Duvall .. Fill your hands you son of a bitch!
Best line ever!
He would come in my barber shop in West Allis Wi when he was in town for the Great Circus Parade.
The first time he came in, I had a regular customer coming in, so he sat and waited till I was done with him. When I asked him if he wanted his eyebrows trimmed, He said " Oh kid, dont tuch them, that's money in the bank!" He even sent me an autographed picture made out to me. I still have it in my shop. He was a very cool person. Loved people. I gave him 4 or 5 haircuts over the years....
3:30 Dirty Lyle aka Cottonmouth.. ‘Convoy’ great film , great actor..
Rooster Cogburn damnit.
Cabbie in escape from new york
Hey Interviewer, not knowing Duke's Oscar winning role of Rooster Cogburn in True Grit is an embarrassment for someone in your profession. It's almost hard to believe you don't know that, wow!
