Everybody likes Lee Marvin. Did you bring that up because YouTube fed you a one of him after the Caine bit? I didn't like "The Big Red One" much (the movie with Luke Skywalker in it). It played like a TV movie from that era. The extended scene of him with the boy from the concentration camp was well done though.



Yes and no, he came to my mind when u mentioned Midway -> Toshiro was there -> Lee Marvin

No, Midway. He played Halsey in that. Stuck in bed with dermatitis or something.



JW wasn't in Midway. Robert Mitchum played Halsey.

A Marine's Marine. He's been gone 28 years now.

One of the best - not like the pretty boy actors today.

Status: offline 		Lee Marvin was part of a huge lawsuit when I was a kid. His long term SO sued him for a chunk of his wealth when they broke up. That's all I knew him from for a long time.

From what I read, he got hit in the sciatic nerve on Saipan and it bothered him the rest of his life. The injury was severe enough he got a medical discharge.

Was that the Palimony suit? Where some judge came up with the idea you don't have to get married to collect alimony?

John Wayne was not in Midway. You are talking about Robert Mitchum.

Long story short, I grew up using The Duke as my role model. Could be worse

<edit> oops, someone already seems to have caught that

Lee Marvin, says a tremendous amount about him and his character, and what the impact of the war was on him, that he select a simple headstone that says PFC US Marine Corp
