thanks for all the ‘likes’ people. I’ll give a little more information. First of all you can see the episode here: http://youtu.be/xuRSlfGBoVY (while it’s still up there…)

The late and great Lee Marvin makes his only appearance on the series as Peter Kane.
The Birth of The Crucible: Pernell had been pressing David Dortort for an episode where his talents would be showcased in. David finally agreed and ordered for a script called “The Crucible”.

Pernell remarked that Dortort would probably hire a “lame actor” for the role of Peter Kane, opposite him and that irritated Dortort. Dortort called his old friend Lee Marvin, who was a top box office draw at the time, and “called in his favor”.

Marvin agreed to do the part and Pernell Roberts was very surprised. Dortort said Pernell had to work hard to keep up with Lee Marvin, and not let him dominate the scene. “The Crucible” ended up being the finest episode Pernell ever did. Dortort called Pernell: “a very fine actor, and when he wanted to, could improve any scene he was in”.

THE PROFESSIONALS Japanese poster (R 1973) - Big Guns In Japan (Part 5)
One of the best action-packed Western of the 1960s thanks to the expert direction of Richard Brooks and an all-star cast: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, Woody Strode and Claudia Cardinale.
The Japanese poster shows Burt Lancaster flashing his smile and gun while Lee Marvin looks his usual grimmy self and carries an even bigger gun while Claudia Cardinale sizzles around those real men.

PRIME CUT Japanese poster (1972) - Big Guns In Japan (Part 4)
Also known as Kansas City Prime, this movie directed by Michael Ritchie pins tough man Lee Marvin agains an even meaner Gene Hackman with violent battle scenes in cattle barns and in wheat fields all for the eyes of a very young Sissy Spacek.
The Japanese movie poster above is the rare advance one and needs no explanation. Lee Marvin looks he means business and the bright yellow font is the only thing sunny about what’s coming.
