Gene Pitney and Lee Marvin

If you don’t know who they are…so sad.
If you do; you’re old like me…cool!

Small intro:
The Man Who Shot LIBERTY VALANCE * Gene Pitney - YouTube

I remember Gene Pitney for “Town without pity”. that was him, wasn’t it?

Yes, it was.
Thanks.

Moving to Cafe Society

Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Gene Pitney, I can understand. But Lee Marvin? Young’uns don’t know who he was?

They didn’t write “Town Without Pity”, but they did write “Liberty Valance”.

Great singer, great song, great actor, good movie!

Trivia Gotcha: Who played the title role in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance ?

John Wayne

Not Jimmy Stewart? :dubious: :confused:

Second trivia question: Name at least three stars in the movie Town Without Pity.

Watch the end again.

Kirk Douglas, EG Marshall, and…and…hmm.

Trivia useless to anyone but me: it was mostly filmed in my mother’s hometown of Forchheim.

Frank Sutton - Gomer Pyle’s Sgt Carter.

Gene Pitney also wrote and recorded Hello Mary Lou. Frankly, I prefer Ricky Nelson’s and the New Riders covers of that song.

Good one! I was expecting Christine Kaufman to come up before Frank. :cool:

Looking over the cast list, I see that Robert Blake and Richard Jaeckel were in it too (as American GIs).

Spoiler alert!
