Dirty Dozen (1967) - General Inspection

[@davidswift647]

“.....Madison City, Missouri Sir 😀, ...never heard it ...😔::” simply a brilliant moment from General Sutherland.. Vernon L Pinkley ! Thank you for this wonderful segment 👍

[@code2high]

Lee Marvin !!!! What a GREAT actor......A true legend !!!!

[@ajreyes9742]

a US Marine in WWII

[@veg4ev]

Lee Marvin being in the Marine Corp himself played a magnificent role in this movie. This scene is the best part instrumentally!

[@edhoughton2609]

Yea he is just bang on

[@markharrison2544]

He was far too old.

[@GrayFoxROU]

@@markharrison2544 No he wasn't. He was 43 yrs old and this is accurate for the rank of major. Younger ones are cases of nepothism.

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Veg4Ev Which is strange because he played this role and in the Big Red 1 which is Army 1st infantry. And both roles were about the European campaign while Mr. Marvin served in the Pacific campaign.

This is one of the best movies ever made

[@mrbriscoe2001]

Saw that interview with Donald Sutherland; he wasn't t the original actor who was supposed to be "the general" in this scene-but he sure knocked it our of the Park- and this scene convinced the Hollywood big shots he had star potential.. His Big Break..

[@josephvitielo1693]

CLINT Walker was chosen originaly

[@OptimusWombat]

Little young to be a General, but he definitely played the part to a "T".

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

Sutherland would reprise this quirky G.I. character in Kelly’s Heroes (1970) as Sgt. Oddball.

[@Hessian1011]

"But you're really quite emotional, aren't you?" Priceless line from one of the best war movies ever. Lee Marvin and Robert Ryan had worked together the previous year in another classic, The Professionals, always striking exactly the right note, whatever they did. I hate to use a cliche but they really don't make them like this anymore.

[@davidmedeiros2856]

Yes and both movies were excellent. The Professionals is one of my all time favorite movies!

@@surferdude44444 My respect for Robert Ryan has already gone up. Thanks for sharing that. Him and Borgnine (a Navy vet) made an amazing picture in the Wild Bunch. To be fair Marvin's experience was cut short too.

[@jameshuseby6290]

@@williameaton9058 Lee Marvin was the original choice to play the lead in The Wild Bunch but he turned it down to play in Paint Your Wagon and they chose William Holden to replace him

[@aceventura3241]

Here is why The Dirty Dozen worked so well - it was set in World War II. Lee Marvin, Richard Jaeckel, George Kennedy, Charles Bronson, and Robert Ryan all served in World War II, and made sure The Dirty Dozen was made to 'close to perfect'.

[@dobbstheelf2835]

It's literally about a real group, the FIlthy Thirteen

Robert Webber, Ernest Borgnine, Telly Savalas and Clint Walker also served in World War II. Robert Ryan never went overseas iirc.

[@USMarineRifleman0311]

There is something uniquely American about this scene. The mocking of the European style of spit and polish discipline in favor of a rough and ready appearance favored by American troops for 2 centuries.

[@AlbertaGeek]

+US Marine Rifleman Spoken like someone who has never had to form up for parade inspection.

[@USMarineRifleman0311]

My graduation from bootcamp was that fucking inspection dumbfuck.

[@AlbertaGeek]

A.G. IOW, you did just as much "spit and polish" as "European" troops. This admission makes your OP hypocritical and/or full of shit.

[@USMarineRifleman0311]

No dipshit, its a sentiment shared by 3rd party observers to the American military since von Steuben. The rough and ready nature of the US military has been a staple of our existence since 1775. Colors of our uniforms and accoutrements, as well as the lack of brightly colored lace in the 18/19th centuries all indicate this mentality. Not only that but the composition of the Continental Army and the later Union Army all lean towards the less than impressive militia units that often wore civilian attire and buckskins with an inclination towards camouflage.

[@AlbertaGeek]

A.G. The drabness of your uniform colours from hundreds of years past were born of economic convenience and stayed in that vein because of a vague adherence to tradition. But if believing otherwise makes you feel tougher, by all means go for it.
