Sign of the times. Check out the scene exactly 15 minutes in the movie. You'll see why I say sign of the times. What is it, do you think I say, it's the sign of the times? Coin related; What's in the box?

    This movie, which is now considered to be a director John Ford classic, was once rated as a low budget dud. Lee Marvin, who often played tough guys and hard boiled cops, was actually a bit of an intellectural who knew a lot about U.S. history.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Lee Marvin was a local boy here who, after being a plumber for a while, made the big time. Did not handle his booze well, but always had a big bodyguard with him (saw him a couple times in Woodstock - story not for here.)....Cheers, RickO

    One of my all time favorite movies, love the character John Wayne played, the wrong man, willing to do the work and let someone else get the credit for it

    Fun thread. Until it was on TV a week or two ago, I had never seen the iconic film. Amazing cast. Now those were steaks!

    Read Lee Marvin's biography last year. Good book on his life/career.

    Great song also, by Gene Pitney. But for some reason it was never in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDN4L7cAQf0

    Oh my, yes those were huge slabs of beef! That scene where the Marvin character trips the Stewart character that resulted in him dropping John Wayne’s steak is a great one.
