In my younger days, when Dad would play the greatly abridged version of Cat Ballou on Super 8mm film,
I was amused by his drunken gunfighter bits. Never much cared for much else in the movie.

I'm quite partial to Paint Your Wagon, which he does quite well in I think. Other movies, like the Dirty Dozen,
are probably superior movies, but I don't think that's because of Lee Marvin being in them. Whereas he
does quite well in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, too.

I haven't seen enough of the others to judge. But I'm most likely to rewatch Paint Your Wagon.

But you didn't vote for it! It's currently in a three-way tie with The Dirty Dozen and Paint Your Wagon. I'm trying to get out the vote!

I just watched the trailer for Point Blank on YouTube, as I haven't seen the movie, but it sure looks good.

I'll be on the look out for it on TCM or some similar place.

Trying to think of any film that I liked BECAUSE of Lee Marvin, and I'm coming up blank. He was in some great movies, and I admire him for his service to his country, but i don't think his acting speaks to me at all.

I've sometimes wondered how he could stand to play a combat soldier in World War II movies like "The Big Red One." He had seen what must have been some quite horrifying action in the Pacific Theater for real. He was even wounded in action when his company was all but wiped out. You'd think that playing a Hollywood soldier would have brought back unbearable memories.

Maybe it helped him cope with the memories better. Of course he was of the generation that didn't let a little thing like feelings get in the way of being a "man", so maybe it didn't even cross his mind. :lol:
