Lee Marvin Was The Freaking Man

Tag a “freaking” on Lee Marvin. As in “Lee Freaking Marvin”.

While researching the essence of what “cool” really is for a new project I happened across this particular clip from the 1972 film Prime Cut:

Any man who spends the next six minutes and twenty-eight seconds of his life watching this clip is in for a major life lesson. Every e-book on attraction and understanding women is basically summed up for you right here in one neat package. Never mind the shoes. Cut the guy some slack…It was 1972.

The first part in the lobby is a warmup. Note the subtleties in body language and semiotics.

The hotel room scene combines masculinity, genuine human concern and straight up indifference masterfully.

But the clincher is the dining room scene. Pay careful note of the distinction between Lee Marvin’s character and the AFC at the next table. And pay particular attention to how Lee handles the situation. Gonzo.

All of this culminates in the last 20 seconds of the clip. If you don’t “get it” the first time, keep watching until you do. This, gentlemen, is how it’s done. And he gets “The Glow” in return (of course).

Be Good,

Scot
