“.....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
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!!!
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.
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.
Jusayin InernetMovieDataBase (IMDB) lists the movies William Christopher appeared in, and Dirty Dozen isn’t one of them. And he was born in 1932, which would make him 35 in this scene. Nope, it’s not the Padre from MASH
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.
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
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
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.
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,
“.....Madison City, Missouri Sir 😀, ...never heard it ...😔::” simply a brilliant moment from General Sutherland.. Vernon L Pinkley !
Thank you for this wonderful segment 👍
"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?
Lee Marvin !!!! What a GREAT actor......A true legend !!!!
a US Marine in WWII
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.
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.
@@GrayFoxROU exactly. And imagine what turned the poor fucker's hair white... 😔
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
3:23 the moment when Donald Sutherland realized Lee Marvin wasn't acting:)
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.
"Pinkleys gonna be a general.... What for ???? Shut up and watch" 😉 This dialogue is precious and one of many 😜😜😜😜
How much was ad lib
@@raymondweaver8526 A lot of ad libbing I bet 😛❤️
"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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the best movies ever made
The Best ever of any military combo music of all time. ThanKs to the band leader and his band
No combat ready unit ever passed inspection.
No inspection ready unit ever passed combat.
That's a hell of a quote son
Except for gurkhas.

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
I love Franco's reaction when the major picks him to be the general.
"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!
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.
"Walk slow, look dumb and act stupid."
He just described the former Romanian minister of defense.
Even the crazy man Telly Sevalis was grinning and stiff Sargent Richard Jackael had to look down and supress a grin. Classic scene!
My favorite musically with one of my favorite all time actor Lee Marvin who played Major Reisman to the T
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
This scene is an art masterpiece.
Perhaps the Greatest Military Music 4 a Motion Picture!

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.
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.

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
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...
Dirty Dozen....Great war movie!!! And driving the jeep is my idol Trini Lopez!!!
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!!!
Fine scene from a classic movie. Great cast.
I remembered the "never heard of it" scene when I saw this as a child
"where you from soldier?" "Madison City Missouri sir!!" "Never heard of it" !! lol
So well written, directed and acted. Love this scene!
Thanks a lot!! I`ve just enjoyed it from this wonderful CZcams.
"I'd rather be a civilian, sir" I died laughing the first tme i heard that line
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.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I had crushes on all of them (unheard of before for me)! (smile!)
Lee Marvin was so good in this film and the orchestra was right on with the music!
great film, great action, GREAT humour....just what's missing from today's films...
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!
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
Lee marvin was so badass in this, very convincing
Best Ever Military Music of All Time

The Best Ever Military Song of all Time. 9/24/16
In my opinion the Best Ever Military Music of All Time per movie!
Best ever military music!
Old man Sutherland has some pretty good lines in this scene.
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?
Jusayin InernetMovieDataBase (IMDB) lists the movies William Christopher appeared in, and Dirty Dozen isn’t one of them. And he was born in 1932, which would make him 35 in this scene. Nope, it’s not the Padre from MASH
Love this movie!
This scene made Sutherland a star.....
In my opinion the best ever military music of all time! Thanx to Frank DeVoe and Orchestra
One of the most funny scene i ever witnessed. From Budapest. Dirty Dozen is favorite.
When Americans were allowed to be Americans!
Question EVERYTHING! That's being American. By God I wish I was an American I would question everything.
"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???
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.
When I was in the Marines we had so many crazy things happen.
This movie is not far from the Truth
Still the Best ever Military Music of All Time in a Movie
Legendarni film sa legendarnim glumcima...!!!
Sutherland...an under rated actor... comedy..drama...action...der Adler ist gelandt
How is Sutherland underrated? He's pretty darn popular.
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.
@@BS-ib2ch Sorry for the delay. I'll need to revisit the clip.
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 Music!
Best Military Music of All Time!
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
Great Scene, Music and Movie with Lee the main character
Best movie scene ever to be shot in Colindale, North London.
i love the band composer!!! he has this look on his face and he doesn't stop composing....LOL
Best ever military music.
Best ever military theme song of all time!
great movie!
great movie
Sutherland credits this scene with getting him his role in M.A.S.H
No 2 sir
This scene was filmed in Hendon the old RAF base, its a housing estate now(Grahame Park estate was built in the 60s)
I was Nine Years old when I saw this at the theatre with my family.....probably seen it 100 times, literally, So good,
Perhaps the Best ever Military theme ever
My favorite military music of all time. 10/23/16
What is the name of the military music of the song?
The best scene of the movie. Hiliarious!!!
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.
Lee Marvin...the ultimate thumb-ur-nose-at-regulations officer! 👍😁
Lee Marvin in the Basehart part in "decision before dawn"
Never heard of it. Best line ever.
Best Military Band Music
Yes found out now thanks.
but can they FIGHT......
I love this sense I cracked up every time I watch it
Great Movie!!
My Fav. military music!
Ah Lee, we miss you.

i take 2 hour for discover the name of this great movie of my youngt days almost dont remember how good it was
lols use to watch this movie when i was younger still as funny as hell. dirty dozen
That was great!
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.
Sunglasses existed in WW2, I don't know about that particular brand.
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.
