"The Emperor of the North" (as it is also known) is one of my favorite movies. It is the tale of a train hopping hobo (Lee Marvin) and the efforts by the train security agent (EB) to not just get him off his train, but to end the hobo's life and legend. LM and EB did their own moving train fight stunts, too.

The man really made a lot of movies, didn't he? He also starred in the "Airwolf" TV series, played Vince Lombardi in a TV-movie, co-starred with Joan Crawford ("Johnny Guitar"), Lee Marvin ("Dirty Dozen"), and Bette Davis ("Bunny O'Hare") among others, and even voiced a character on the "Spongebob Squarepants" cartoon series! tjoeb};> Edited by tjoebigham (Sun Jul 22 2012 09:43 AM)

What a sense of humor! Edited by mehaul (Mon Jul 23 2012 03:19 PM) _________________________ If you aren't seeing Heaven while you dream, you're doing something wrong.
