  • Bulit like a rock, with a noble gaze, clean spirit and wild ways, Lee Marvin inherited the natural gift of minimal expression from Hollywood´s tough guys from the thirties and forties. Human and vulnerable even when his killing instincts stired up repulsion -The Big Heat (1953), The man who shot liberty valance (1962), The Killers (1964), Point Blank (1967)- Marvin worked his way to stardom first by cultivating wickedness, and once this was accomplished, by searching for moral integrity in is characters, which ultimately brought him into the limelight.
