Victor McLaglen: the one and only, genuine, original Hollywood badass. Accept no substitutes. Professional boxer, wrestler, circus performer, Canadian Constable, Captain in a British regiment in World War I, Provost Marshal of Baghdad after the war and heavyweight boxing champ of the British Army. The tumultuous relationship between he and John Ford actually masked deep affection and mutual respect; McLaglen always referred to Ford as "Jack, darlin'" and Ford allowed McLaglen the singular honor of being allowed to snooze in his chair between takes on his film set. Ah, the old days are indeed gone forever.
i have been spending years of studied victor mcLaglens life in my country sweden for almost 25 years and found out the same feels god that i am not the only one
@@patrickmcshane7658 Sorry it took me two years to see this. Blew lime seltzer right out of my nasal cavity. All too true, Patrick lad but, alas, McLaglen, like Duke Wayne and even the redoubtable Woody Strode, was intimidated and cowed by Pappy. When writing my bio on Ford I interviewed his grandson Dan and he told me one of the things Ford had on McLaglen: Victor would get violently seasick and couldn't participate in the seagoing shenanigans aboard the Araner, which for Pappy was one of his rites of male initiation for his inner circle.
@@vanpelt2321 That's cool that you wrote the bio on Ford. I consider him the greatest Director of all time. Would you agree with that? Also, I assume that "Jack, Darlin" morphed into "Captain, Darlin"...?
I realize I am older and grew up with these movies but you just cannot beat it! I still love black and white movies! All of them seem so much better than what we have today as far as actual acting and direction. Just my opinion.
The bartender, Mr. Connelly, is played by Director John Ford's oldest brother Francis Ford, who was a veteran director during the silent era and a much remembered character actor who appeared in scores of "talkies" from the 1930s to his death in the 1950s. Among the movies he was in directed by John Ford includes Judge Priest, Steamboat Round the Bend, Fort Apache, The Wagon Master, The Sun Shines Bright and his last as Dan Tobin in The Quiet Man. Along with Dana Andrews and Anthony Quinn he was one of the three innocent men hung in The Oxbow Incident.
@@55Quirll I should have said, "Yes, he was in Ox Bow, as Alva Hardwicke. I have not be able to find any reference of his being in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
@@55Quirll I think you’re thinking of Walter Huston, the father of John Huston. He won a much deserved Oscar for that role. Now Francis Ford was a scene stealer in his own right btw.
I`ve said this before Víctor Mclaglen literally takes up half the screen AND when he hits and shoves people you feel it out here AND when he yells and laughs you turn AND he can still out drink us AND HE HAS BEEN DEAD since 1959, I believe! We Love Victor Maclglen and the Quit Man.
The blacksmith with the sledge hammer (Mickey Simpson) takes losing this fight out on Rock Hudson in "Giant." Mickey played Sarge the diner owner. Mickey, like Victor and Buddy Baer were great character actors in playing big strong guys (because they were big strong guys). Probably could throw Ted Cassidy (Lurch) and Richard Kiel (Jaws) in this group too.
Dam good film but I have to say l seen little old lady take on big farmers boys and put them in line these boys were not bad lads just having some fun but when little lady came over they all did as they were told you see she watch them all grow up that’s what l call respect but it was just like the film 👍👏👏
Ah, yes, The Quiet American. An unusual movie for John Wayne but another great one. I love the courting carriage! They sure did seem to keep their favorite cast members in the loop on a lot of films.
@@showsleary7631 You folks must be talking about John Ford's very best movie, "The Quiet Man." It's a little known fact that Ford was required to accumulate studio capital, in the form of "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," "Fort Apache," and "Rio Grande" before the studio would allow him to make "The Quiet Man," which because of his Irish roots was the movie he wanted to make all along. Ford went on to direct several more truly great movies, including "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and "Mr. Roberts," but his favorite was "The Quiet Man."
I guess there's some out there nowadays, who would brand this blatant piece of stage-Irish shit, as racism of a kind. As an Irishman myself, I had a good giggle watching this clip. Its simply over-the-top Hollywood horse manure.
Grande ! Immenso Victor ! Mi fa ridere solo per le facce che fa'. A parte la propaganda usa, questi sono sempre dei bellissimi film , meglio in bianco e nero e non colorati dopo. I film di ora sono per vegani, non sanno di niente. Ciao Victor
