♦War Classic♦ 'The Outsider' (1961) Tony Curtis, James Franciscus

[@jamesnorton8316]

I am so sorry for CPL Ira Hayes. He had PTSD, before it was recognized as such. He left it all on the battlefield. He had nothing else left to give. He was one hell of a Marine. Semper Fi Marine. I'd be honored to visit your grave in Arlington. I was born a Marine 8-7-67, still a Marine today.

[@catholiccrusader5328]

Marines, best of friends worst of enemies. Semper Fi!

[@markunger1098]

Very impressive performance from Tony Curtis. Ira Hayes’s story is an extremely tragic one.

[@robtw88]

I agree!

[@landsnailproject2875]

What a truly great actor was Tony Curtis portraying Ira Hayes ,

[@catholiccrusader5328]

That bartender was okay.

[@michaelward9880]

This movie didn't do right for Ira Hayes. Ira was a qualified Paramarine, although they didn't make any combat jumps. He also saw combat before Iwo Jima,on Bougainville with the 3rd Marine Division. That's where he met Mike Strank. Ira also had problems with alcohol before joining the Marine Corps. He'd been arrested for Drunk and Disorderly and believe he needed a waiver to join. He was a loner, but was liked and respected by his buddies. He wasn't the kind of guy to take any crap from his peers. He was a good, reliable Marine. That alone deserves respect.

[@DalePotter-v7c]

That alone deserves a lot of respect!! I remember his story well I saw this many years ago!! he was a damn good soldier I hate life dragged him down!! I'm a military history buff like my dad and am thankful for what all these guys did for this nation!!! 💪🇺🇲

[@kennethtyree4770]

Ira helped raise $26 billion for the war effort. He died in poverty.

[@miguellogistics984]

I once had a friend who had been in the Marines in Vietnam. His Father had been Navy. He had been one of those officers of the Ranks surrounding Tojo on the Missouri. He was blown straight up in the air from a seated position in a Deuce and a Half. Half of the people who he lives and fought with died in that instant. As he flew up into the air he said that: "I remember being terribly concerned about my Mother."

[@BOBPortlandOr]

I had two uncles, a navy corpsman and army solder who met up on Iwo Jima. Good movie never saw the plot coming.

[@catholiccrusader5328]

"Your mother wasn't on Iwo Jima." Gotta love that quote.

[@IntheBlood67]

Been waiting for this one! Thank you, SIR!

[@robtw88]

My pleasure!

[@m.brizzy5407]

Most of TC's career was of him being a more or less playboy, here, in this film, he actually is given the chance to act. I think he does it quite well. As for the real man, Ira, he was just one of many that the American machine of stardom destroyed and combat turned nice young men into something they had no concept of.

[@jamesnichols7810]

CURTIS' BEST PERFORMANCE QUACK QUACK QUACK

[@chineainguanzo6341]

Mothers suffering is as worst and the soldiers war experienced.so many plans that never happened. That's what war does.this is a great movie..❤

[@robtw88]

I agree!

[@Funkit891]

My mother's two older brothers enlisted after Pearl harbor both survived the war fighting the Japanese until the bomb. Not once did I hear them speak about what they saw or did. That was a lot of things to hold inside.

[@stephenwidlak9196]

[@williamColella]

Leonard Rosenman's music score was used in 'Combat!'

[@zacharyjohnson6453]

I always wondered why the background music sounded similar to the background music in Combat.

[@kevinkeating-kr3xu]

powerfull ,god bless all the men and woman who served in ww2

[@Magic-Wrench]

Great movie. I read 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley, son of the Navy Corpsman flag raiser, who may not have been a flag raiser after all. There was always a little controversy about the true identity of some of the flag raisers. I've been reading that Rene Gagnon and John Bradley were misidentified and did not participate in the 2nd flag raising.

[@justinvanscoy140]

Very nice, glad to see u took ur heals off for two shots

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

Heels., old man. Heels.

[@brndesk]

Today, we lose 22 veteran everyday to suicide. The PTSD, the alcoholism and racism he faced coupled with the celebrity burden would be overwhelming for anyone back at the time.

[@kennethtyree4770]

My dad did not kill himself and neither will I.

[@TomJose-cl1co]

Thx sir, please upload Korean patrol , war is hell, escape to Mindanao,these are rare war movies

As a Mescalero Apache Indian, (NO! Not "Native American" that's what your liberal White Eye call us!) It feels good to see a film about Our Brothers!

[@robtw88]

Glad you liked it!

[@wallaceb9120]

good job!!

[@Mark-g4z2s]

What a pity. I feel for this guy.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

The training of these Marine commandos is so intense. Months of drill, exercise, live-firing, etc. Then when they storm the beaches of Iwo Jima, so many of them are mown down by Japanese artillery and machinegun fire in the first few minutes. Such a waste .

[@TheRichestManInBabylon-s7d]

Marine Commandos are British.... US Marines are known as .... US Marines. No finer friend. No worse an enemy. You would not want to defend a position.... against US Marines. 👀

[@NoelBotes-f1c]

🙄😢 So , so heart wrenching 😢😢

[@stevenrussell5340]

Never made it into the US Coast guard, like I wanted too. I hyper extended my right knee, jogging to get into shape. If I made it in, I would have retired 6 years ago. What a waste of my pathetic life, no retirement, no decent career, only factory assembly work. I am useless as you know what on a bull cow.

[@ernestopardo5488]

I also love 2nd world war movies cowboy's all action movie's love to watch it

[@BeachsideHank]

The late Greg Walcott, he of "Plan 9 from Outer Space"- good actor though and a pal of Clint Eastwood.

[@Rose-jz6ix]

Good movie

[@catholiccrusader5328]

Had Ira sought help from the one Person who could have helped him namely GOD he would have overcome his drinking and self-hate problems. He didn't and paid the ultimate price.

[@israeltorres6910]

RIP marine

[@catholiccrusader5328]

Bartenders hear as many confessions as some of our priests.

[@tazmod7272]

Hadn’t seen this movie before. Different role for Tony Curtis. I have seen different stories on Ira. Not sure what the truth is.

[@sirheybad9406]

I pitied to see heroic Ira Hayes being sold to buy war bonds. The guy should be sent to his mother first, then he will be highly motivated...The Army just dont care...

[@TheRichestManInBabylon-s7d]

Camp Pendleton is not in Sad Diego. It's in Oceanside. It was not the Marine Boot Camp. That was the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) on Rosecrans in San Diego. MCRD is now on Pacific Avenue West of Interstate - 5... in San Diego. In WWII they may well have used Camp Pen as a Recruit Depot. I dont know.... but it is not in San D

[@PatrickJDoyle-bw3fu]

He claimed to be a Sgt but he only has 2 stripes, marine ranking is different I guess, normally NCO starts with 3 stripes.

[@CaptnweedsTravels-n4b]

PTSD

[@headsup2433]

I dont think you could make this movie today, having white actors portraying American natives, good movie though.

[@herrcobblermachen]

Cant wrap my mind around why they couldnt find an Indian to play ira :/

[@catholiccrusader5328]

We're all in this s*** show together so we'd best learn to get along.

[@kenbird8783]

Curtis had a big nose then, after that movie they changed the camera angles.

[@scottmckay9535]

This is a great movie. Glad the 'woke' censors didn't wreck it.

[@zacharyjohnson6453]

Not everything has to do with wokeness or politics, this is a movie about a United States Marine plain and simple. So if you can't see that or understand that, then you need to get your head out of your ass

[@docholidayoutlaws104]

To hell with the tone censors , they’re nuts wanting to make it legal for children to undergo hormone therapy with the permission of their parents . It’s these nutty perverted people who are a danger to our kids & national security filling our children da heads with their perverted propaganda socialistic anti American ludicrous political agendas !! Trump 2025 !!!!

[@michaelbokrosh7374]

You're the ones who are asleep.... What goes around comes around pal You and your fox friends who are traitors🎉

[@Redgolf2]

What’s woke, isn’t proper English Awoken?

[@stevem-h5e]

You should get your GED, Scotty. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[@robwilsn3219]

So they blocked yur 1967 movie. Are yu kidding me!

[@robtw88]

Yep ( But if you can watch KZbin on your TV, check under playlists for 1960s movies on my channel and you might catch it before it is gone ;)

[@popcornhead3479]
