Haven't seen "The Wind and the Lion" in a long time.

I'll have to rent it and watch it again while I wait for "The Professionals" to come out on DVD.

I recollect reading that Marvin took a Japanese bullet and lay unable to move from spinal involvement and without cover or concealment all day. He was real uncomfortable. After darkness fell the Corpsmen came and got him.

Sounds like a kill zone.

Healed up nicely, as we know, but always had pain. Drank too much, they say.

Personally I don't think he drank more than a lot of people. He doesn't have the look. Figure he was just messing with Liberal minds. Kind of like the Duke's "maybe you'll grow up to be a man someday" persona.
