On a day when most people would be feeling under pressure or a little agitated, this man shows that old-school stoic face, generous strength instead of mean hostility.
FANTASTIC!! Two absolute champions together. Lee: "I gave you an autograph...you gave me one."I still chortle at his first reaction of spotting the intrepid Norman striding toward him. "Oh my God, it seems like the Pacific isn't wide enough." Also the way he buys into the Logie being a huge thing in the entertainment world. Yes, a class act, and one of the few Americans who genuinely" gets" Norm.
Lee Marvin used to come to Australia to go fishing so he had a bit of a clue about Australians and was pretty familiar with Norman Gunston. There were others, like Warren Beatty, who had no idea what he was about and just looked gormless. If they had looked a bit closer at the comb-over, the pasty white makeup and the bits of toilet paper covering numerous shaving nicks, they might have realised he was probably not the real deal. Norman Gunston (real name Garry McDonald) was kind of like the first Borat. Probably his funniest is his interview with Sally Struthers (from "All in the Family").
Gary surely holds the title for first troll interviewer starting in the 70s, Barry Humphries was next as dame Edna but not til the 80s, Sasha was nowhere near the first by the time he got going.
I seen an interview where Gary MacDonald say the Keith moon interview was a total send up and was a reaction to the way the press treated the who when they were in Australia .if you watch it again you see its staged.but when it first aired it was quite shocking.
Lee was the greatest. Wonderful man and Actor.
What class Lee Marvin had. They don't make em like that anymore.

What class Lee Marvin had - Indeed. !

Yeah but he knew who Norman Gunston was.

Way ahead of Borat and Ali G
I forgot about the fishing. Makes sense.
@@philgray1023 Yeah, he liked chasing marlin off the Great Barrier Reef.

Yeah but Sacha was the first targeting ordinary people ....rednecks, pompous intellectuals
what a couple of legends :)
,,,,,,, Legend !!!! even Gunston was moved.
Lee Marvin: bad-ass Marine! Bad Day at Black Rock.
this is excellent
GREATEST LEGEND.BLAZING SADDLES😀🧡
Love Lee Marvin, flawless
Marvin nearly burst out laughing at one stage.
Lee Marvin shows the skills that made him a great, and of course the smart money is always on Garry McDonald, the legend of Dapto.
Love you Norman.

Comedy takes the edges off the truth, and shares it around.
Lee Marvins palimony suit was going on at this time.
Lee Marvin is as cool as f**k
What You See Is What U Get. VERY COOL
would have liked to see gunston interview the one and only Duke (John Wayne) or Clint Eastwood. plenty of potential for a good laugh there.
Now why couldn't Keith Moon have as much class as that ?
I seen an interview where Gary MacDonald say the Keith moon interview was a total send up and was a reaction to the way the press treated the who when they were in Australia .if you watch it again you see its staged.but when it first aired it was quite shocking.
I always assumed Keith thought Norman was Molly Meldrum and went for the juggler before checking.
Couldn’t understand what Marvin mumbled before walking away.
Ah, come on now, Dennis has his own abrasive style but Norman was a pioneer.
Gary McDonald was the world's first troll interviewer, two decades before Sasha.
at one minute you can see he loses it.
if dennis pennis was funny he'd be norman gunston
.04 nowhere to run.

Gunston is too far from being funny,... totally unpleasant!
