In the war movie "The Dirty Dozen" which actor was still alive at the end of the movie?


*****Lee Marvin *********

Asked the DH about this one - BELIEVE me - he would know - must have seen it every time it is re-run (along with Stalag 17 and the Bridge Over the River Kwai) lol

I do believe that is not right. James Coburn is still alive and the rest are dead.

OK "guy-film fans"! Which is it? Who didn't get killed off?

[realrox]

my husband who also saw it about a million times, said yul brynner does anyone really know fer sure?

Here is a list of the cast of the movie...No Yul Brynner and no James Coburn...leaves Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson...and my hubby says it was definately Lee Marvin...this is fun! ...MY favorite was Clint Walker...anybody remember him in an OLD TV show called Cheyenne? Please don't hold my age against me, hahahahaha

Memolink question was:

In the war movie 'The Dirty Dozen'which actor was still alive at the end of the movie?"

They say the answer was Charles Bronson - BUT,
Sgt. Bowren, Wladislaw, and Reisman (Marvin)survive. That would mean that Richard Jaeckel, Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin are all standing at the end!

I am going to e-mail them and get this little situation rectified, lol...I had this happen once before and they DID credit me with the points...we will see what happens!!!!!!!!

HERE IS WHAT I SENT TO MEMOLINK - WE SHALL SEE WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE I GET...I WILL LET YOU KNOW!

Memolink question was:

You say the answer was Charles Bronson -

BUT,
Sgt. Bowren, Wladislaw, and Reisman (Marvin)survive. That would mean that Richard Jaeckel, Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin are all standing at the end!

Your question didn't say anything about which of the convicts survive...just which actor...so ACTUALLY, BOTH Charles Bronson AND Lee Marvin would be correct...CORRECT?
