The way these sculpts of Dean and Marlon came out, it just compels me to keep using them...I need some thoughts from you guys...

I'm thinking about doing a "The Young Lions" bash. The film came out in 1958, right after Dean and Jerry Lewis split up. No one thought that Dean was going to survive the split; everyone thought that Jerry Lewis was the real talent. Dean, with the help of his friends, Marlon and Montgomery Cliff, landed the role. I saw the movie once a long time ago and remember that I liked it. I've started watching it again and I'm about 1/3 of the way through...

Below you will find some pics. I think that Marlon would look good with blond hair, and Dean would look pretty good with an Army Sargeant's uniform like the pic below. My dilemma is finding the right uniform for Marlon. Any suggestions? Have any of you done and WWII bashes?

I was only just Yesterday thinking of watching it! I own it but have never seen it, any good mate? They will look great if you go ahead with them! Keep it updated pal!

Here you go buddy These guys have everything you would need for WW2 bashes.

Some of these look nice, would only need slightly changing up!

Joel, The Young Lions follows all three soldiers through WWII up until the ending. It's very good in parts, and in others it is alittle slow. It keeps building to the ending. For me, it wasn't the story as much as it was watching Brando, Martin and Clift's acting. They were all very good. Brando made you believe he was actually German. His accent was excellent. All in all, worth a watch for that...

Yeah? Worth a watch then! Will have to try that one out next! Due to not seeing many Dean Martin films to be honest. Still, looking forward to seeing your pieces completed if you do go that route!

I'm curious to see what you think of it. I've just finished watching it, and the movie builds toward the final scene....Brando and Clift are phenomenal. Martin is good too, but not like the other two. Brando and Clift were probably the two best method actors to come out of the 1950's...

I only remember watching parts of the movie as a kid. I'll have to get around to watching it too.

Hey Fistful,

I'm curious to see what you think as well. I'm not going to say any more...I don't want to spoil anything...

Re: Classic Actors & Tough Guys - Bogart, Cagney, Wayne, Eastwood, Dean & Others...

You got it Geronimo. Look forward to seeing how Dean and Brando come out.

Just finished watching it mate and usually not my kind of film but it was incredible from start to finish! The story was great and you're right! They are possibly the two best male actors, definitely of the 1950's, but possibly of all time, they seemed so genuine and Dean Martin was great and added to it nicely too! Saw Lee Van Cleef in there too, Great cast and a great film. Thanks fort reminding me on this one mate!

On that note, Clift sculpt is now started! haha

But a younger version, also, I will have to get on with those Brando's again!

Lol...oh, no...Clift sculpt started!? Now you've got my adrenaline really going

I never realized how good of an actor Clift was! And he was born in Omaha (as was Brando). They made the film...and Dean was good too. That ending was unexpected...let's not say anything and spoil it for fistful...

Haha, yeah! You said about them being considered rivals due to the similarity especially when they where younger eg early 1950's.

I did not either but recently started watching some of his movies with Elizabeth Taylor and really got into them so will have to dish out some more of his movies and check them out! Yeah, I think if James Dean had done more films, he would had been as good, but that being said, I think I prefer Dean but Clift and Brando had that bit more experience I guess? Yeah, for sure! Fistful, check it out for sure, well worth the watch!

Yeah, as I said, based of him younger circa A Place In The Sun!

I could not sit in a thread on Iron Man or dare I say it with DA on here, Terminator! Got to stick with the classics!

On another note Jerry, I checked out that A Countess in Hong Kong with Sophia Loren and Brando after you mentioned it, it's not bad at all! Did you say you had seen it?
