If you’ve taken the time to visit here on occasion then you know by now that Lee Marvin ranks pretty high on my list of favorite actors or tough guys of cinema if you prefer. My earliest memory of this iconic actor is seeing Lee lead the Dirty Dozen into enemy territory in front of a who’s who of legendary tough guys when I was a kid staying up late next to Dad on the couch for a late seventies airing of the famed Robert Aldrich flick.
For those who love the films of Lee, enjoy.
For those who are not familiar with the WW2 veteran and his Academy Award winning career, get moving and discover the films of Lee Marvin.
“Lady, I don’t have the time. ”
“You won’t lose your pants. Your life maybe… but what’s that? ”
“You’ve seen a general inspecting troops before haven’t you? Just walk slow, act dumb and look stupid! ”
“Oh, for a second I thought you were a Jap. ”
While this may be a terrible movie, the poster is Lee Marvin and Robert Shaw awesome!
“You’re going to live, even if I have to blow your brains out. ”
This one is for me an underrated gem. “Whaddya want? A shout, a holler and a cigar for doing something right for a change? ”
For the wanna be tough guy that lives in all of us – Hell Raiser Lee Marvin stands tall.
Mike's Take On the Movies 
Where’s The Shack Out on 101? 😉
Funny when we look back from our vantage point what we think should be on a poster and marketable. But as you know Lee didn’t become bankable till the mid sixties.
Agreed, but there are some great publicity materials with him in them, e.g. http://cdn.funcheap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/shack-out-on-101_sm.jpg
Nice lobby card!
As usual, great gallery, Mike. Do you have one of the Point Blank posters lying around (like the kooky one in my old review): http://fanboydestroy.com/2013/05/29/random-film-of-the-week-too-point-blank/
No. It’s one of those that escalated in price rather quickly as a cult fave before I started collecting. I do have a few Lee posters though including Red One and the awesome artwork of Death Hunt.
Dang it. Waaaay back in the 80’s I saw one of those Point Blank variants for about $25 at a flea market, but I wasn’t into collecting posters so I passed it up. That image jumped out at me and it would have been my first ever buy, but I had no where to store it and passed. Ah well. I need a working time machine (as does every collector!)…
You really know how to hurt a collector. lol.
No intentionally, lol. My list of un-gotten treasures thanks to me saying “Meh!” is a long and sad one indeed. 😀

Same here. I especially like the first one up, the A Bout Portant poster.
Right from Lee’s earliest roles he had presence on camera. I was overdue for a gallery on Mr. Marvin. That is a cool poster isn’t it.
Only one word “Magget”!
“Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. Your on guard duty Maggot!”
