Lee Marvin: His Films and Career

Rating:
Summary: Marvin the Works
Review: An interesting book to read,but very negative in parts. The best thing to do is see Marvin's films then read about it in the book, so you've already made your own mind up. The book brings across the authors own likes and dislikes about Marvin's films and career,i felt that it was a bit to influenced by his own likes and dislikes. At the end of the day you either like Lee Marvin and his film's or you don't. Personally i love the bloke and enjoy his film's and the many characters that he played. Marvin maybe dead but he'll never be forgotten with the work he left behind for us all to enjoy.

Summary: Reader Review of Lee Marin: His Films and Career
Review: Robert Lentz has done an outstanding job in profiling the film and television career of one of America's most beloved tough guys. This insightful look into Marvin's tenure as an actor is a must read for anyone interested in films from the 1950s through the 1980s.

The detail used to describe each of Marvin's movies and television programs is excellent and the author deserves to be commended for his thorough research and love of the subject. In the fickle world of Hollywood stardom, it is refreshing to seem a tribute paid to some of the movie world's older names.
