Marvin was quite a man. With all his celebrity, he always maintained that he was most proud of being a US Marine in the Pacific during WWII, and he wanted to be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, where he was buried, with his brothers.
I would love to be a fly on the wall as Robert Mitchum and Lee Marvin shoot the shit.
Here was an alcoholic man
@@matimus100so what,
@@matimus100 When you point a finger at someone else, THREE are pointing back at you.
many of our most famed people are/were alcoholics.@@matimus100
I think it was Paint Your Wagon where the lady asked him if he ever read the Bible. He said yes. She said "Didn't that turn you away from the drink?" He said "No, but it sure turned me away from reading "
I still think that is one of the funniest lines ever and I love to read the Bible.
Lee Marvin was one of the very, very best! He often times played the "bad guy" but he was absolutely THE BEST! Love Lee Marvin and can't say more about his service to our country as a US Marine! God bless Lee Marvin!!!
Thank you Lee Marvin for your heroic service from another proud Veteran
Working for George Burns, I had the honor of meeting Lee Marvin when we taped a Bob Hope special at NBC. I brought my parents to the taping, and my Dad and Lee struck up a conversation about WWII, both of whom had served. To this day I don’t know what specifics they discussed, but I am indebted to Lee Marvin because it was the only time my Dad talked about being in the war. A very nice man on top of that.
I won't forget George Burns either he used to call me when I was a little kid to check on me to see if I was all right after Elvis Presley died I was hospitalized because I wouldn't quit crying I cried till I passed out so my mom took me to the hospital.. Elvis Presley was my uncle.... Lee Marvin meant a lot to me the movie paint your wagon means a lot to me because I grew up around the mountains eagleton was the name of the town where no name City set... George Burns is awesome too... I spent a lot of time around bullhead City because of Lee Marvin
Thank you for working for George Burns he meant so much to me as a kid talking to him.... I won't forget him ever
That is a great story, what a experience to meet a man like Lee Marvin.
Who cares what you did azzhole
It was noted by his Big Red One costars that Lee Marvin communicated with the director Sam Fuller (also a WW2 veteran) in code and hand gestures . Also from time to time he'd be with his "kids" and during filming he'd have to be alone because of HIS PTSB . Making The Big Red One brought back SOME memories . The Big Red One is one of the BEST was movies because of Fuller and Marvin . If you don't think so you ain't an American .
Lee Marvin was a man’s man......a real man. Marine vet with a Purple Heart, he was a real deal war hero who could hold his own in a fight even as an old man; dude was a real deal badass on and off the screen.
What captivates me most is he was still sharp in looks, wit and style in his older years.
I’d have been honored to have met him and had coffee with him.
Wish he was still alive; may he R.I.P.
I'm glad he killed himself.
Mark Harrison
He died of a heart attack. What the fuck is wrong with you??
@@jonathanlewis6240 He had a heart attack because he was an alcoholic who smoked up to six packs of cigarettes a day.
@MysteryFan Audie Murphy did not smoke or drink.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance easily one of the top 10 Westerns ever made. One of the best Western Villains ever portrayed by Lee Marvin.
Edmond O'Brien as Dutton Peabody was fantastic.
Strother Martin was really good too.
that is my second favorite western. My first is: The Searchers. It is a great suspension of disbelief that Jimmy Stewart is this green kid out of law school--he was like 54 at the time. They could have gotten a younger actor to be Ransom Stoddard when he first arrived to Shinbone. I think if it had been in color it would have been harder to get that across. In black and white you have more leeway with costumes/makeup/ages, etc... And, what a stellar supporting cast. Not a single miscast character. I often think of the scene at the rally where the political candidate is on stage and the horse and rider is doing their stunt with the lasso. Denver Pyle hollers out, "Now that you've got your rope around him, hang the horse thief!" Woody Strode as the ever faithful Pompey, Strother Martin who makes anything he's ever worked in 100% better, Lee Van Cleef as Valance's henchman, Andy Devine as the cowardly sheriff, Jeanette Nolan takes no guff and John Qualen who is so proud to be able to vote in the election, round out a cast of four stars--Stewart, Wayne, Marvin, and Miles.
Lee speaks with intelligence and real film knowledge..Loved this guy.
Mr marvin was not only a great actor but a war hero. Love him
2021 & who still loves this guy ????
He was the real thing, no doubt about it. When Lee was on screen you can't help but be drawn to him and the character he's playing. You never catch him acting.
He was fantastic!
2024 checking in.
2024 and I agree!
I love lee marvin movies❤❤
I never tired of seeing Lee Marvin in a role -- he was a terrific actor and I loved his voice! Kind of a low growl at times -- superb!
Same, but man his eyebrows were poppin'
He was 29 in this interview. 😅
@@laurenceotoole1700 😆
@@Unclemoparman 😆
He was not an actor, he did not have to act, that was his natural self. And in my opinión even do John Wayne was our hero, it was lee marving who really added to that movie. And that scene in the restaurant, i had seen it several time, that was intense, it was a show down of great actors, John Wayne and lee marvin.
My father was an attorney that managed an office for a medium sized firm, in the 1960s and 70s. One of his young lawyers was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Single, that lawyer got on a plane to Mexico, for a vacation. Sitting next to him on the plane was Lee Marvin. He told Marvin of his situation. Marvin hosted him at his place in Mexico for a week. True story.
Great story. Always enjoyed Marvin's work. I once saw an episode of Twilight Zone starring Marvin, Lee Van Cleef, and Strother Martin. One of the spookiest ghost stories I ever saw.
Nice to hear that Marvin was a kind and generous man
Lee Marvin served in ww2 ..automatic hero, in my opinion..
@@h8troodoh One of Stalin's useful idiots.
@@h8troodoh The US made Europe and China Communist during World War II.
Lee Marvin - tombstone reads USMC as his highest honour says everything you need to know about this man!
No men like Lee around today.....absolute legend beyond description.
I grew up around WWII and Korean War vets. I remember all those noisy Navy jets flying overhead in Virginia Beach back in the sixties. They were a battle -hardened generation and it was a man's world back then.
They exist, but casting directors aren't looking for them.
Loved Lee.....but we still have Clint
@@cathyallen6541 very true. Too much sensitivity these days.
@@cathyallen6541 that is so true
Lee Marvin US Marine Purple Heart Real Man and super cool RIP
Havana Cigar Exchange He also won the DSC.
Tony Collins - Marvin was a Marine, and a Purple Heart recipient, but was never awarded a Distinguished Service Cross. In fact, in the interest of full disclosure, he was given a demotion from Corporal to Private, resulting from a behavioral issue.
E-4 to E-3 means what he got busted for wasn't that bad. There were guys in WW2 purposefully failing out of OCS to get to the front(Eugene Sledge is a notable example). Plenty of bad ass Soldiers and Marines have been demoted, promoted, and demoted again and again. 1 demotion doesn't really mean much.
BelowAverage 11BVet - I know, I have a friend who was demoted in the Navy for whatever, but he was kind of a goof-off then. What I’m saying is that it’s not likely to make one a favored soldier in the eyes of the command.
R Mc - You need to read up a little more on Wayne’s background before and during the war if you think that’s how it went.
My favorite Lee Marvin movie is “The Dirty Dozen”. I’ve lost count how many times Ive watched that movie. His performance in that was fabulous.
His thoughtful answers illustrate how intelligent Lee was. Great veteran; great actor; great drinker; great man who's missed. Glad to hear how much fun Ford's gang of regulars had filming in Hawaii!
WW2 marine
The US was on the wrong side in both world wars.
@@MarkHarrison733 You're so f-ing stupid, no reply is needed... But here's one anyway: "Go F yourself!".
@@THE-HammerMan The US entry into World War I led directly to World War II, and ensured Soviet Russia survived. Patton was right about World War II - we "fought the wrong enemy".
@@MarkHarrison733 You use an out of text, partial thought on the subject by Patton... FROM A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SCRIPT! You're en extremely learned and knowledgeable expert, I'd never surmise that you have tunnel vision of the brain. Have you ever thought about writing a book?
I can shorten that question:
"Have you e v e r thought?"
What a man. An authentic WW2 hero marine, and an outstanding actor.
Not a hero. A Marine who made it back. Heroes didn't.
@@simontills7090 He was wounded in the war. That makes him a hero too.
The only heroes were on the anti-Communist side.
@simon tills
Not a hero - to you. For myself and others Marvin is a hero as our definition of hero isn't as limited as yours. Deal with it buttercup.
Lee Marvin was and still is a great actor and a true American. Absolutely love his movies! It's too sad that we don't have any actors and actresses like we did in the past.
I met him when I was a kid in Trinity beach Cairns Australia, just a hello but his big hat and gruff voice will always stick with me, it was when he fished for Marlin, he's a legend to me 40 something years later.
He had me in tears laughing in Cat Balou. Amazing actor.
I’m laughing now thinking of it ! !
My twin and I still quote him from that film.
"What a time to fall off the wagon, Look at his eyes"
"You should see them from my side!!!"
😂😂😂
Lees' sniper platoon was ambushed on Saipan, Lee and one other
marine survived. What an actor, such a voice!
Loved the way Lee Marvin described the movie, "Donovan's Reef." The fun they had making it comes through when watching the movie. One of my favorite.
Johnny Carson was once asked if he ever interviewed someone who intimidated him. His answer, Lee Marvin.
There is no doubt about that...
I can see that. In comparison, David Letterman was definitely off balance before Sophia Loren was even finished walking up to the chairs. Letterman was a smart ass with his female guests, for better or for worse to get a laugh. Sophia Loren's mere presence terrified him like she was the school head mistress and he was a little boy who hadn't done his homework assignment.
Some of the 60's stars had that "something" on camera.
Carson was probably intimidated by Marvin's eyebrows. I have similar thick ones and yeah, they can be scary.
I loved lee marvin in alot of movies but "paint your wagon" with clint eastwood is my favorite if you never seen it give it a go.I have seen it like 15 times never gets old.
Agreed!
I agree, paint your wagon is a classic! while the movie was meh, I also loved him in Shout at the Devil where he plays someone very similar!
I am always amazed at the sincere intensity that Lee Marvin brings to every role. You can see it here in this interview. He is SO good of an actor, he hits the nail of performance so perfectly, so naturally, that I actually find it difficult to watch him play a villain because the evil he exudes, the malicious, cold-hearted ruthlessness is palpable.
Liberty Valance is one of the greatest heavies - up there with Richard Widmark in Kiss of Death.
I never appreciated how articulate he was. Pretty insightful. I miss that era of movie stars. They did not wax euphoric about their "craft".
@ Madeline, Le Marvin said he acted because it paid very well, period. He wasn't all hung up about acting being a big deal, it was just something he did because people liked what he did and that was just fine with him.
And did not comment on politics!
Hands down, one of the absolute greatest actors of his time.
The bar fight scenes in "Donavon's Reef" were absolutely hilarious. One of the most enjoyable movies ever!
@King Royal WTF??
I met Marvin down in Mexico when I was 13 years old, about '64. Shook his hand. First of many actors I would meet or "work with". A great actor and amazing voice.
We will never see men like this again in our time.
+DOCUMENTARY TUBE No doubt. A lot of those actors and entertainers back then served their country then became successful. Some of them, like Jimmy Stewart, were already famous and wealthy, but still served. From what I understand, Frank Sinatra wasn't one of those, he took the easy way out.
+DOCUMENTARY TUBE Totally! The fact that we refer to people like Dicaprio and Bloom as "men" is an indication of how emasculated our sex has become.
The response of men to the success of feminism, has been to become women.
Thats mine you can use it :)
Oh and one clear exception. Henry Rollins.
+Craig so did Duke.
+DOCUMENTARY TUBE Oh yeah, what about Boy George !
u mean men with disgusting eyebrows?
I think Lee Marvin is one of the best actors to ever step in front of a camera.
I never tired of seeing Lee Marvin in his acting career. He was a good guy with a great acting voice, served his country and was wounded in the Marines, but died too early, at age 63, in respiratory distress, no doubt his heavy smoking contributed to his death. I loved him singing "I was born under a wandrin' star" in "Paint your Wagon" with his low voice, very memorable, and the song was a hit for a while! It was before my time but I saw the movie a few ago and really enjoyed it! I never saw him in a movie that I didn't like his role and acting! Many were before my time but I've seen them on TV since. Good actor, he was!
MysteryFan: Lee Marvin died in 1987 at age 63. He had been ill with "Valley Fever" a kind if intestinal fungal disease, which, secondary to smoking, caused respiratory distress and subsequent heart failure. Sad, he was a long-time favorite of mine, a tough-acting guy in his roles, but a much nicer person for real.
There was also his heavy drinking which must have taken its toll and hastened his early demise. I was lunching in London's Berekely Hotel in the mid-1980s and he made an arresting entrance which I and others were on notice of seconds before his tall, rangy frame came into view. We heard that deep bass-baritone voice outside the restaurant entrance and there was no mistaking whose voice it was. He boomed an arrival with a lack of self-awareness fuelled by his inebriated state. He was very much taller than his screen presence suggested and I remember the incongruity of a drunken man being able to seat himself with aplomb and order from the menu in a way that was flowing and polite, albeit echoing decibels off the scale. He was very well dressed and wore a beautifully cut dark blue suit.
One of THE most memorable voices ever
Yep on the voice. I was walking on a Peugeot car dealer repair floor in Arizona when I heard this sonorous voice say 'What's it look like, Whitey?" to his mechanic... I thought WTF, that sounds like Lee Marvin. I turned around and there he was, tall straight... and in a Powder Blue Leisure Suit. , haha. I didn't say a word. He looked like he could beat the shit outta me. By the way, he was the most distinctive gun handler in movie History, including John Wayne or Audi Murphy.

*Lee Marvin and Richard Boone: my two favorite character-acters.*
Boone had the greatest laugh in Hollywood.
A laugh that was so real it could scare you.
An all time classic actor was Lee Marvin. His inimitable look, voice and facial expressions were iconoclastic!
Lee Marvin, a great character actor who had so much charisma. One of my favorite actors of all time. Rest in peace.
one of these men I admired when growing up as a kid in the 70's.
Yak Cutter 76
Me also!
What a wonderful voice.
Soothing and velvety .
He made a great villain because his intelligence was always there, beneath the surface of his character.
Perfect for the song "Wandrin' Star"
Marvin deserves an Oscar just for singing Wanderin Star that low. i have it on record
Lee Marvin's eyebrows could kick the ass of any "tough guy" actor working today
Replies must be from my age group.... 71!
Too much testosterone.
Completely agree. Whatever age group, this guy's the real thing.

Lee Marvin and Steve McQueen are 2 icons!!!!
You are spot on there bud.

patricky9 Absolutely right. My favorite tough guy actor remains Richard Widmark, not afraid to play mentally unstable bad guys if necessary, stayed home & raised his daughter when he wasn't working, avoided the Hollywood scene, kept his first wife 55 years until she passed & the second wife 9 years until he passed.
Steve McQueen was a wife beater
Both were USMC a title that is EARNED not given.,Semper Fi.
gone but never forgotten. legends.
No wonder he was such an extraordinary actor; he was just as formidable in person as he was on screen. Some actors, you see them in interviews and you’re disappointed in their personality, you wish you had ‘t seen the interview but not Lee Marvin. And that voice, oh, my.

Few have even heard of him now.

PAINT YOUR WAGON is one of my favorite movies with Lee Marvin !!!!
Marvin paid his dues and took pride in his craft. He was excellent at playing tough heroes as well as tough villains.
Love ❤️ youre comment about my family member.

Loved hearing the making of Donovan's Reef was as fun as the movie was. One of my favorites with the first fight being a gem. So many great moments between Marvin and Wayne. I enjoyed watching this interview. Thank you for posting it.
Lee Marvin was a great actor, definitely a legend!
Thanks for loving my family member ❤️
Lee Marvin was my favorite actor growing up.
He was iconic in "Paint your Wagon" Never laughed so much.
Dirty Dozen without doubt was another great film that i will never forget and always watch when its on.
My personal favorite was Point Blank.
Prime cut never got the recognition in my opinion that it deserved.
The guy had style one of the greats. Like Bronson he was a real man that didn't over act but had stage presence that few have today.
The tv show M Squad. 1957.
@@glennso47 oh yeah anytime somebody mentions Paint Your Wagon I start laughing. 🤣🤣😅🤣😅Jack
How fantastic to see him passionate about black and white, and giving great reasons for it. Such a presence as well. Thanks for posting
If you want to see a man's man movie, check out "The Emporor of the North". A '70's movie set in the '30's, Lee Marvin was a hobo who went against a sadistic railroad "bull" played by Ernest Borgnine. Very good flick
Emperor of the North Pole
Gary Evans Great movie.
Gary Evans great movie.
wayne gilroy probably why they don't show it more
Gary Evans Ernie Borgnine played sadistic monster better than any diagnosed sadistic freak. If you saw "From Here to Eternity" his attack on Blue Eyes puts shivers down your back.
Lee Marvin......one of the few actors who on screen possessed a real menace....R.I.P.
Nice point. What about Robert Mitchum? Take another look at Robert Ryan. Jack Palance?
As far as actors off of screen, I wouldn't have messed with Charles Bronson. That guy was tough as nails even as an old man. Bronson had a stare and he had the strength to back it. Lee Van Cleef was another guy that had that going. Lee Van Cleef was one of the few actors who could stare directly at the camera, and cut through an audience. He also had some muscle to him.
***** Check out *WILLIAM SMITH* and *LEO GORDON* who director *DON SIEGEL* while making:"Riot in cell block 11" said:"Leo Gordon" is the SCARIEST man I've EVER met".He was probably right. But NO one has that Subtle Bad-Ass than The great *LEE MARVIN* .
In payback, the remake of point blank, Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson had to show how dangerous he was. In Point Blank, you just knew how dangerous Marvin was.
Lee Marvin & John Wayne were a great team in "Liberty Valance" (as enemies) and in "Donovan's Reef" (as best friends).
Acting at its' VERY BEST.
Old School Hollywood... but with absolutely no pretense...just raw talent and presence ! God Bless him !
Most loveable, irrascible old piss tank chain smoker. R.I.P. Lee Marvin. Real grit and a brilliant actor of the finest calibre.
Jaqueline Safra agreed!!!💪 He's like come@ bro!!?

James Henderson don’t be so hard on yourself.. you’d never say something like that unless you have a huge amount of self hatred .. stop🤫
He was really good in Monte Walsh, too.
What a great actor this guy was. I don't think he ever made a film I did not love, for one reason or another. I grew up watching John Ford movies, and many of them starred Mr. Marvin and, of course, Mr. Wayne.
Wow. As I recall Lee Marvin not so burned-out as he appears in this interview. He was the time of all the old greats of that old greatest generation of actors who were able to find work.
Dean Jackson
My favorite will always be Lee Marvin singing "Wanderin' Star" in "Paint Your Wagon". Wonderful! A voice like a goose fart.
He made Eastwood's voice sound like Pavarotti...lol
@@brainscott8198 I actually liked him singing that. FUCK u both.
Wandering star is the perfect song for Marvin a fantastic song
Never heard a goose fart. Maybe I should get out more. Rog
He could be the meanest nastiest guy you'd never want to cross paths with....But, he also played hilarious roles which showed just what an incredible actor he really was....
I'll never forget 'Kid Shaleen' in Cat Ballou.....He stole the whole movie!
The movie Paint Your Wagon was the first movie I saw with Lee Marvin when I arrived from Brasil as an immigrant. I fell in love with his acting in that movie. He truly made me believe he was that character. Not to mention the song "I was born under a wandering star" with Marvin's marvelous rusty voice. I love that song. There are very few other actors I admire on the silver screen. Marvin was and is one of my favorites in American movies.
John was amazing with his knowledge of film. I was in the room in 86 when this was filmed. Great experience. Rip my friend.
Great actor old western films are the best pure class loved watching western films as a kid bring back old memories may he rest in peace.
Interesting interview with an interesting man. He was an exceptional actor and highly underrated. Watching him emphasizes how real men are becoming scarce. He has a strong, down to earth presence that men are more and and more lacking. In Mr Marvin's earliest roles at a young age he appeared very much older with deep mouth lines even then. Genes and WW2 had a profound effect. Miss men like him very much.
Lee Marvin was a real soldier with real battle experience ,not just another actor pretending to be a war hero
A Marine like Marvin would never say soldier; he was a Marine...
We never say soldier, but some of us politely explain the common misconception for those that don't know.
True!
Pay attention civilian pukes! The Jarhead knows what he's talking about!!!
Semper Fi grunt 0341
unlike john wayne?
A truly great actor - from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance to Cat Ballou to Point Blank to the Dirty Dozen to Bad Day at Black Rock - he was a real original.
Mans man, LEE MARVIN, GOD REST YOUR SOUL.WE VWILL ALWAYS MISS YOU HERE ON EARTH!
Emperor of the North, Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine, classic.
Gerber Bernstein The fight scene at the end was bone crushing!!
And Keith Carradine
A wonderful film, which I haven't seen in decades. I remember I was just a kid, when it came out and my dad took me. Like him, I was a huge Lee Marvin fan. Like, the guy says, in Reservoir Dogs...
Charming, intelligent & witty. Add up the tough - guy and you've got the quintessential actor.

Jeremiah 17:5 New Living Translation
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,
who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
He's So Cool. I Could Listen To Him All Day.
Such a wonderful actor. IMHO, also one of the greatest voices on film. As Liberty Valance, that voice would just set the tone for the character and the scene. Mr. Marvin is greatly missed.
I think Marvin was terribly underrated. He embodied the "strong, silent type" better than just about anyone. When he was working in San Quentin, a convict came up to him and asked him if he'd ever been "inside." He answered, "No, I haven't." He said that it was the greatest moment of his acting life.
I can't believe how intelligent and insightful Lee was.
"Nothing more dangerous than an Irish intellect." HAHA!! I felt that one so hard...
Well, he may have a point. The Irish playwrights certainly have it.
Lee Marvin lived hard, and wasn't afraid to show it. He earned all his wrinkles and white hair.
+Michael Smith Hard to believe he was just 63. He certainly lived hard.
+Michael Smith That is a face that looks lived in. Lee Marvin is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
he earned it--fought as Marine in WW II and got badly wounded
I believe the scene in The Big Red one where he gets shot, and if i remember correctly, just slumps to his knees, is based on how he was shot during the war.
He was an actor and a millionaire. Yes he drank a lot but that is not living a hard life. What makes living a hard life is working in farms, factories, schools, hospitals, shops, driving buses and taxis ....living from pay cheque to pay cheque. It is a disgrace that actors make insane amounts of money for acting (not even writing, directing, editing etc ) just acting. While men and women who do normal but valuable work don't get paid a fraction of the value of their work....saving lives, teaching children etc. So no...none of them are real men. They have all sorts people around them doing things for them, cultivating their images, promoting their personalities - they cant even do that themselves. while most other men dont even have the time to scratch their balls let alone time to think and get their heads above water. I dont begrudge them for what they have but i dont think we should be so delusional as to say things like .."he is a real man". Otherwise we have just been brainwashed and bought into the whole cult of personality, hollywood created nonsense.
The best thing i can say about these guys is that they themselves would not agree with being idolised like this. They would tell you to stop it.
Lee Marvin, Wish I could have met you. Go in peace Brother.
Clyde Suckfinger end Pl out. But
Lee Marvin is nonsense he took bullshit from no one great actor 👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯👊🍻🍻🍻🍻
I waited on Lee Marvin once. This is him. Super nice guy.
What a great voice!
I very often remember Lee's analogy 'Black& White films versus colour' film and he is so right about the whole interpretation. He also describes John Ford and John Wayne very accurately. These were the years for Lee Marvin after he moved to Tucson that he enjoyed the most. He was a no nonsense guy always. But one who many co-stars describe as coming home tortured emotionally by what he witnessed and suffered in WW2.
Unfortunately most combat veterans come home with ptsd and serious issues.
@@brianwalsh1401 it varies according to the person.I was fortunate to talk to many WW2 vets back in the 90's when all the 50 year anniversaries happened. To a man they all said the same thing; what got to them the most was the death of a friend - all too often right next to them
Lee Marvin was Awesome.
Our God is an Awesome God. He created the entire universe and everyone and everything in it. How Awesome is it that Jesus Christ died on a cross to save us from our sins. Nowadays everyone and everything is awesome. Guess that makes God and Jesus Christ, just alright, as the 70's song goes.
When you think of a person like Lee Marvin you always see a straight up tough guy bad ass. I don't ever think he ever played in a comedy but he often gives comedic interviews.
I guess cat ballou and paint ur wagon were not comedies evidently u really are not a lee marvin fan
"The Man who shot Liberty Vallance." is in my top 5 western movies of all time. And it was Lee Marvin who "made" that picture. The noir mood is perfect! I miss Lee Marvin. He was one of the few actors that were sought after for their personalities. John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Richard Burton, James Cagney etc....From the "Wild Ones." thru to "Delta Force." to "Paint Your Wagon." Lee Marvin was the Man.
I wish Clint Eastwood could have directed him in a film. Guaranteed Oscar
@Calengela Lee Marvin was barely 18 and under fire in some of the fiercest battles ever fought in the Pacific during World War 2. He was severly wounded, most of his Marine division killed, but he survived and was decorated. He started out here in Hollywood as a bit actor but worked his way up. He played tough guys, bad guys and ultimately a brilliant parody of both for which he won an Oscar in 1965. He lived, drank, loved, and died too young. He was a man. Who the fuck are you?
All the marines in the Battle for Iwo Jima just loved Lee Marvin..including my ole man.
MARVIN Is a legend!!! I love his movies period!!!!
I think one of the best things of growing up in the 60's was always seeing James Cagney's "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on July 4th, or the likes of John Wayne's "Iwo Jima" on a Saturday afternoon, or Steve McQueen's "The Blob" on a weekend night...I feel for the youth of today. They don't have access to classic movies like we did...or really even *any* movies like we did. Instead there's benign, generic B.S. shown instead. Bdea, bdea...That's All Folks!!!
The voice with history.
Could listen to the man all night
Lee was great in every role he played. Dirty Dozen, one of my all time favorites.
