The following documentary was done by a guy who’s new to me, but who apparently has quite a following online, LandumC.
This should have been considerably longer than the ten minutes it runs. There’s nothing about Marvin’s legal wives, the host neglects to give the ruling in the Marvin-Triola palimony case (Marvin won), and he makes two mistakes regarding dates: Marvin won his Oscar for Best Actor for Cat Ballou in 1966, not 1965, and The Dirty Dozen came out in 1967, not 1969.
The narrator does not talk about how Marvin destroyed himself with drink, which explains the decline in the quality of his projects, after his towering performance in the film adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh (1973).
With that said, the narrator has a fascinating, and very credible-sounding theory about the role that acting played in Marvin’s life.
The Troubling Early Life of Lee Marvin, and How He Went on to a Stellar Career
LandumC goes there
“A look into the life and career of Lee Marvin and how he overcame his early struggles to become a one of a kind actor!”
