The Daily Tribune Thursday, August 19, 1976 Page 23 Lee Marvin talks of one more good movie Sears Oscar." "The Great Scout" was filmed in Durango, Mexico, one of Hollywood's favorite locations for Westerns. It is still pretty primitive. He says that the first night they were there, he and one of his co-stars, Oliver Reed, were having drinks in a local saloon when suddenly three gunshots slammed into the ceiling. "I've been there before," he says. "I know the rules about what you're supposed to do in Mexico.

In my trade one of the baddest points is that you have to in-terview people you sometimes don't like. When you do that, you say "He's a tough interview." That means that, in one way or another, the guy makes it hard on you. Lee Marvin used to be a decidedly tough interview. It wasn't that he was unpleasant. It was just that he was usually uptight and defiant as though he were saying, "All right, Buster, I dare you to get anything out of me." All that has changed.

Something has happened to Lee Marvin. Maybe it's maturity, at last. Maybe it's the love of a good woman. Maybe it's because he's shaved off his beard. Whatever the reason, he's changed from a tough interview to a pussycat.

He's certainly become a mellow individual. Today, he talks about himself simply and directly, and reveals himself to be a normal human being. He has his dreams and fears. "I'm getting ready," he says, "either to make a profound hole in the ground or else to make a tremendous move." His problem he explains, is that he wants something more out of life. He wants some adventure while he's still young enough to live it.

And the adventure at the end of his rainbow is Australia. "I'm fascinated with Australia," he says, "particularly the northern part of Queensland. It's all Italian there. Third generation. They all speak Italian with an Australian accent.

"It's still a frontier. They hit it or drink it or spend it. It's like America used to be. "I'd go there and fish or just fool around. I could get a job as a laborer, of course, if I needed money." But then comes the awakening1.

He laughs, shakes his head, and his eyes are sad. "I really can't go to Australia," he says. "It's just a dream, a fantasy. "I'm 52 now, so my ignorance and my dreams are allowable. They no longer call me 'that dumb Now they say, 'Well, he never was too smart, he never did know what side was He realizes that Australia is just a dream every man has a dream he knows will never happen but it can be very vivid to him.

He says that not long ago, the dream became so vivid it took possession of him. He was driving near his home in Arizona on a routine mission, to pick up some eggs from an old lady who sells them. "I was thinking about fishing in Australia," he says. "Well, the first thing I know I realized I'd missed my turnoff by three miles. Dummy that I am, I was trying to drive from Arizona to Australia." Then he wakes up again; "Too many obligations here.

I really will never get to Australia." He's probably right. How does a successful man turn his back on success? Marvin has long been one of our best and most versatile actors. He's in constant demand. He says he finds enough parts he wants to do "they're not in profusion, but they're enough." Marvin figures he averages a picture and a half a year. Now, he has one "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" and another about to be released "Shout at the Devil." "The Great he says "is a frolic.

Good summer fun. Good getaway entertainment. It's not a memorable film, and I think that's the secret of movie success. People may not remember it's name, but they will enjoy it." In his thinking, "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" is one picture he didn't make for himself, but for "them." By "them," he means the great American movie-going public. "Every once in a while," he says, "I have to make one for them, too.

It's funny, but the films I make for myself usually don't do too well. But the ones I make for them, they're OK. Look at 'Cat Ballou' it was just a throwaway, and it made a fortune and got me an CD BEVERLY HILLBILLIES I DREAM OF JEANNIE )ZOOM I DREAMED I 5:30 SUMMER SEMESTER 6:00 BONANZA 6:15 (9) FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE By 6:20 (91 NEWS '1 6:22 (1 WGN EDITORIAL 6:25 SUNRISE MARKETS 9 FAMILY HEALTH NEWS 6:27 MEDITATION 6:30 PETTICOAT JUNCTION tl COUNTRY AND WESTERN SHOW SUMMER SEMESTER (9 TOP O' THE MORNING CD CARTOONS 6:55 (J LOVING FREE- (9) NEWS 7:00 fl CBS NEWS GO TODAY (91 RAY RAYNER AND HIS FRIENDS CD GOOD MORNING AMERICA 8:00 CAPTAIN" KANGAROO (9) GARFIELD GOOSE 8:30 (91 1 DREAM OF JEANNIE 9:00 f)OQ PRICE IS RIGHT CD SANFORD AND SON (9; MOVIE '42nd Street' 'Footlight Parade' 'Gold Diggers of 1933'(WED.)
