“.....Madison City, Missouri Sir 😀, ...never heard it ...😔::” simply a brilliant moment from General Sutherland.. Vernon L Pinkley ! Thank you for this wonderful segment 👍
Veg4Ev Which is strange because he played this role and in the Big Red 1 which is Army 1st infantry. And both roles were about the European campaign while Mr. Marvin served in the Pacific campaign.
"But you're really quite emotional, aren't you?" Priceless line from one of the best war movies ever. Lee Marvin and Robert Ryan had worked together the previous year in another classic, The Professionals, always striking exactly the right note, whatever they did. I hate to use a cliche but they really don't make them like this anymore.
Saw that interview with Donald Sutherland; he wasn't t the original actor who was supposed to be "the general" in this scene-but he sure knocked it our of the Park- and this scene convinced the Hollywood big shots he had star potential.. His Big Break..
Here is why The Dirty Dozen worked so well - it was set in World War II. Lee Marvin, Richard Jaeckel, George Kennedy, Charles Bronson, and Robert Ryan all served in World War II, and made sure The Dirty Dozen was made to 'close to perfect'.
@@surferdude44444 My respect for Robert Ryan has already gone up. Thanks for sharing that. Him and Borgnine (a Navy vet) made an amazing picture in the Wild Bunch. To be fair Marvin's experience was cut short too.
@@williameaton9058 Lee Marvin was the original choice to play the lead in The Wild Bunch but he turned it down to play in Paint Your Wagon and they chose William Holden to replace him
I have got this movie DVD of Lee Marvin with Ernest Borgnine Charles Bronson Clint Walker Donald Sutherland Jim Brown Robert Webber and Telly Savalas in The Dirty Dozen I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx
Great movie I remember seeing this in the drive in my dad took us he was a WW2 veteran. He loved this movie. He also took us to see Patton that was his favorite.
The Woke nonsense pervading the West has affected even martial music. These days the most apoplectic nonsense is played from the US to GB in the name of march or military band music. God spare us!!!
General looks like Boogy from something pass about Mary. This scene is epic, to convert a militar reception in a clown performance, seeing the colonel's face while the major and "the general" are walking checking the force....no words : ))))) A scene typical from Monty pyton's films but without them. Congratulations to the director.
My favorite part is how Marvin looks like he's about to lose it with Sutherland but then realizes he's being watched and instantly regains his composure.
Reading some of the comments on here, it doesn't really surprise me that much that people have completely missed the point of this clip. For example "the anachronistic sunglasses" - I have a pair of "RAY-BANS" - no shit! - that were issued to USAAF pilots in WWII
I have to say Lee Marvin was one of the Great Actor's you just don't see them like him anymore. I enjoy seeing the airborne taking a few laughs for the common infantry soldier even if he is part of the Dirty Dozen,
There is something uniquely American about this scene. The mocking of the European style of spit and polish discipline in favor of a rough and ready appearance favored by American troops for 2 centuries.
No dipshit, its a sentiment shared by 3rd party observers to the American military since von Steuben. The rough and ready nature of the US military has been a staple of our existence since 1775. Colors of our uniforms and accoutrements, as well as the lack of brightly colored lace in the 18/19th centuries all indicate this mentality. Not only that but the composition of the Continental Army and the later Union Army all lean towards the less than impressive militia units that often wore civilian attire and buckskins with an inclination towards camouflage.
A.G. The drabness of your uniform colours from hundreds of years past were born of economic convenience and stayed in that vein because of a vague adherence to tradition. But if believing otherwise makes you feel tougher, by all means go for it.
The anachronisms like a pair of sunglasses can be overlooked in this film. Whats more surprising is how many movie audiences still dont realize this is a dark film in actuality. The funny moments and music soundtrack is a purposeful contradiction.
The Dirty Dozen (1967): Donald Sutherland was one of 12 death row inmates recruited for the Second World War. The Hunger Games (2012): An oppressive dictatorship headed by Donald Sutherland punished 12 impoverished Districts for insurrection by forcing them to play gladiatorial games, leading to a Second Rebellion. Both movies feature Donald Sutherland fighting alongside/against dozens of second class citizens in a brutal reprise of a great war.
It's funny my late father looked like Donald Sutherland. Our last name is Pinckley. That spelling is unusual. Funny stuff first watched this for 1st time 30 or 40 years ago!
Up to this point, Pinkley was characterized as being not very bright. But this General Gag was a stroke of genius, which makes for one of the highlights of the whole movie!
This video was right about one thing. American Generals, when inspecting troops, will walk slow, look dumb and act stupid. Many are so doddering with their swagger sticks that they hardly know what’s going on in the rank and file.
something tells me this is different from the version I remember seeing. The music is different, The Washington Post March was the music I remember hearing during this scene where the band constantly starts then stops and then starts again as the 'general' isn't ready :D
“.....Madison City, Missouri Sir 😀, ...never heard it ...😔::” simply a brilliant moment from General Sutherland.. Vernon L Pinkley !

Lee Marvin being in the Marine Corp himself played a magnificent role in this movie. This scene is the best part instrumentally!
Yea he is just bang on
He was far too old.
@@markharrison2544 No he wasn't. He was 43 yrs old and this is accurate for the rank of major. Younger ones are cases of nepothism.

@@GrayFoxROU exactly. And imagine what turned the poor fucker's hair white... 😔
Lee Marvin !!!! What a GREAT actor......A true legend !!!!
a US Marine in WWII
Lee Marvin " But you're really...pause...quiet emotional" the best line for me delivered with Marvin coolness
newellgirl AGEED. 100%
I like the quote 'I don't care if they hang you for 10. dollars or 10 cents, it makes no difference to me

Yes and both movies were excellent. The Professionals is one of my all time favorite movies!
And Bad Day at Black Rock a decade earlier
@@josephvitielo1693 Very true. Two great actors.
@@Hessian1011 thank you so much
Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Heroes....both classic movies and Donald Sutherland and Telly Savalas are in both of them.
Wilsonspen WOOOF WOOOFFFF!!! BOW WOW!!!!!
Great Dark Comic movies of the 60' s.. Hollywood isn't capable of them anymore... "Get another Comic Book Character"...
Agreed
Two fantastic actors. They could play anyone.
lee marvin is way cooler...
"They're very pretty, colonel. But, can they fight?"
I love this scene.
I wonder if the Colonel jumps with his men into active combat zones?
This is one of the best movies ever made
Saw that interview with Donald Sutherland; he wasn't t the original actor who was supposed to be "the general" in this scene-but he sure knocked it our of the Park- and this scene convinced the Hollywood big shots he had star potential.. His Big Break..
CLINT Walker was chosen originaly
Little young to be a General, but he definitely played the part to a "T".
Sutherland would reprise this quirky G.I. character in Kelly’s Heroes (1970) as Sgt. Oddball.
No combat ready unit ever passed inspection.

It's literally about a real group, the FIlthy Thirteen
Robert Webber, Ernest Borgnine, Telly Savalas and Clint Walker also served in World War II. Robert Ryan never went overseas iirc.
I love Franco's reaction when the major picks him to be the general.
Perhaps Semper Fidelis was played because Lee Marvin was a Real Marine in WWII...
Antonio Perez
so was Ryan
Marvin was wounded twice in Saipan......shot in the butt and the foot. Ryan was a DI at Pendleton....never went overseas.

How much was ad lib

"Just walk slow, look dumb, and act stupid" hahaha
+Revan2908 Just like a politician.
newalm Quite.
+Revan2908 that was the biggest mistake that Major Reisman made to the Ding-bat, that made this happen 12-13-15
I don't think Donald Sutherland had to act to pull that one off.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite musically with one of my favorite all time actor Lee Marvin who played Major Reisman to the T
the goofy look on the band leaders face is priceless
Loved it when they would keep showing it..that smile😂😂😂
That's the great M. Emmet Walsh.
The job.
Even the crazy man Telly Sevalis was grinning and stiff Sargent Richard Jackael had to look down and supress a grin. Classic scene!
"I'd rather be a civilian, sir"
"You ever pull another stunt like that again, and I'll beat your brains out!"
Hahahahaha!
great, lines!
I have got this movie DVD of
Lee Marvin with
Ernest Borgnine Charles Bronson
Clint Walker Donald Sutherland
Jim Brown Robert Webber
and Telly Savalas in
The Dirty Dozen
I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxx
This marching band music composed of 3 different music compostions is the bomb i love this part of the movie.
I love the band conductor's sycophantic smile.
After so many attempts of playing the music... he finally got to.
the conductor is funny and the colonel too when he says not now.
Greatest Military Music in a movie of all time!
What is the name of the military music of the song?
@@jandrimanuelalcivar8556 the first one is emblem march and the second one when he is inspecting the troops is semper fedilis
Perhaps the Greatest Military Music 4 a Motion Picture!
What is the name of the military music of the song?
Cassavetes' facial expressions are priceless.
"Walk slow, look dumb and act stupid."
He just described the former Romanian minister of defense.
I get such a kick out of the crushed look of the guy from Madison City
That was William Christopher who would later be known as Father Mulcahy on MASH...
I've heard of Independence, Mo., but not Madison City
@@timchristopherson572 Nope, not finding that anywhere.
That was the padre from Mash?
I LOVE this movie!!! And this is my very favorite scene of all. Thanks for posting:)
"Neeeeever heard of it."
My favorite line of the movie...
😂😂
I’ll beat your brains out
So well written, directed and acted. Love this scene!
This scene is an art masterpiece.
3:23 the moment when Donald Sutherland realized Lee Marvin wasn't acting:)
I remembered the "never heard of it" scene when I saw this as a child
The three marches are National Emblem by Edwin Bagley, then The Thunderer, John Philip Sousa, finally Semper Fidelis also Sousa
Thank you so much!! I've been searching these songs names fol like an hour XD
Fine scene from a classic movie. Great cast.
Great movie I remember seeing this in the drive in my dad took us he was a WW2 veteran. He loved this movie. He also took us to see Patton that was his favorite.
The Best ever of any military combo music of all time. ThanKs to the band leader and his band
The Best Ever Military Music of All Time!
The Woke nonsense pervading the West has affected even martial music. These days the most apoplectic nonsense is played from the US to GB in the name of march or military band music. God spare us!!!
This and davy Crockett were my favorite childhood films:)
"You're really quite emotional, aren't ya?"
You gotta love Lee Marvin's biting wit!
My favorite scene in the movie! RIP to the incomparable Donald Sutherland!
Lee Marvin 1 of the most underated actors of all time of whom is 1 of very few I like
his son sounded just like him in a interview he did
You got that right:) He was a real Marine, too.
I've grown up being a Lee Marvin fan and I've been saying that for years that he is the most underrated actor ever
General looks like Boogy from something pass about Mary. This scene is epic, to convert a militar reception in a clown performance, seeing the colonel's face while the major and "the general" are walking checking the force....no words : )))))
A scene typical from Monty pyton's films but without them. Congratulations to the director.
Dirty Dozen....Great war movie!!! And driving the jeep is my idol Trini Lopez!!!
Sutherland...an under rated actor... comedy..drama...action...der Adler ist gelandt
How is Sutherland underrated? He's pretty darn popular.
This scene was filmed in Hendon the old RAF base, its a housing estate now(Grahame Park estate was built in the 60s)
great film, great action, GREAT humour....just what's missing from today's films...
One of the most funny scene i ever witnessed. From Budapest. Dirty Dozen is favorite.
This scene made Sutherland a star.....
Old man Sutherland has some pretty good lines in this scene.
Lee Marvin was so good in this film and the orchestra was right on with the music!
Lee marvin was so badass in this, very convincing
but can they FIGHT......
My favorite part is how Marvin looks like he's about to lose it with Sutherland but then realizes he's being watched and instantly regains his composure.
The Best Ever Military Song of all Time. 9/24/16

I was Nine Years old when I saw this at the theatre with my family.....probably seen it 100 times, literally, So good,
I have to say Lee Marvin was one of the Great Actor's you just don't see them like him anymore.
I enjoy seeing the airborne taking a few laughs for the common infantry soldier even if he is part of the Dirty Dozen,
Maybe Mr Eastwood.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I had crushes on all of them (unheard of before for me)! (smile!)
"where you from soldier?" "Madison City Missouri sir!!" "Never heard of it" !! lol
Best Ever Military Music of All Time
I know it’s not in the clip, but “#2 SIR!”
Thanks a lot!! I`ve just enjoyed it from this wonderful RUclips.
When I was in the Marines we had so many crazy things happen.
This movie is not far from the Truth
Jim Brown died May 19th 2023, aged 87 R.I.P.
Best movie scene ever to be shot in Colindale, North London.
"I'd rather be a civilian, sir" I died laughing the first tme i heard that line
Sutherland credits this scene with getting him his role in M.A.S.H
No 2 sir
In my opinion the best ever military music of all time! Thanx to Frank DeVoe and Orchestra
"Very Pretty Colonel, but can they fight?"
"Where are you from son?"
"Madison City Missouri sir!"
"...never heard of it..."
The soldier looked so crestfallen.
@@SPARTANSAM1 That soldier was, I believe, William Christopher, who later played Father Mulcahey on MASH...can anyone back me up or correct me???
In my opinion the Best Ever Military Music of All Time per movie!
gotta love the anachronistic sunglasses
issued to aviators since WWII.
Baron Feyd Rautha Harkonnen not the black lens sunglasses, those were not issued to 👩✈️
Gotta love people that try to pick faults with something when there aren’t any.
i love the band composer!!! he has this look on his face and he doesn't stop composing....LOL

dont make em like this anymore! Great action, characters, dialogue, music..and most of all, humour! :) classic
Salute to all military personnel!

What is the name of the military music of the song?
Best ever military music!
i take 2 hour for discover the name of this great movie of my youngt days almost dont remember how good it was
John Philip Sousa, "Semper Fidelis" march, at his best - arranged by Frank De Vol for the film - "The Dirty Dozen". Love it!
Do you know which march is the first song? It sounds like a Sousa song as well.
@@BS-ib2ch Hi, I don't. I will check when I get another oppurtunity to see the film.
