Even as a Talk Show Guest Quinn shows an incredible presence and charisma. It seems that he is too big for the TV screen here. This strong and very handsome man was a REAL movie star - not only a movie actor like the stars of today.
In some level, he is part of the greatest generation this country probably ever had and it looks like the country will never have one like that. Amazing
Actors and actresses of that generation were very articulate and appeared to think before they spoke. Today with one or two exceptions they're incoherent without a script.
That was his best, and one of the grestest movies ever made, JG was at his best too, JG took the third lead in that movie (RFAHW), and he hit it out of the Park, really it put that movie over the top.... *into greatness.* Almost 60yrs later (1962) it still makes young people cry.
A strange study in contrasts..Woody Allen, Anthony Quinn with Lee Remick stuck in the middle. Quinn made a Great Pope in that film. :) And also a great role in "Requiem".
What a terrific interview ! THANKS so much for sharing ! Cool to see the lovely & talented Lee Remick there too ! What a charismatic individual Mr Quinn was !
One of the greatest actors of all time. My favorite movie is Lawrence of Arabia, and everybody talks about Peter O'toole's and Omar Sharif's performances, wich are two of the greatest in cinema history, but Anthony Queen's is at the same level without question.
My and many agree , greatest movie of all time . Sorry Casa Blanca / Gone with the Wind . Just look at all of the Stars that were in it . Tony however was exceptional .
As a Greek, seeing Anthony play Greeks four times (Zorba, the Greek tycoon, Onassis: the richest man in the world and The Guns of Navarone) I consider him as a Greek. He played a Greek so well. He managed to embody our culture so well. I think being Mexican helped with this. There are many parallels between our culture but still, he was truly magnificent. Rest In Peace Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca
@@TheOne-fe8wk Ήμουν περίεργος. Στην Αμερική κάποιοι αυτοαποκαλούνται Έλληνες επειδή οι παππούδες τους ήταν Έλληνες. Κάποιοι από αυτούς δεν έχουν πάει ποτέ στην Ελλάδα και δεν μιλούν ελληνικά. Δεν απάντησες στα ελληνικά.
@@BellaFirenze because my first language is English and I don’t see why we need to speak in Greek right now. But anyway, I’m Greek, is that ok with you? Lol.
This actor is one of my favorites of all time. Really liked him as Zorba. He really captured the feel of that atmosphere in that part and played it better than any Greek would have. Yiasou Mr. Quinn. I watched that movie about 4 times and every time it’s like a new experience. I think they should have made a sequel to that film when all the original cast were still with us, possibly called it the return of Zorba. Even read the book a couple of times and got emotional about it. Sorry that’s just me.
3 guests like quinn,remick and allen on one talk show. the quality is amazing. imagine something like that on jimmy fallon. impossible. it's been a long way down. my favorite quinn movies are la strada and viva zapata but most of his are great..
Zorba the Greek, The 25th Hour ,The Secret of Santa Vittoria and Lawrence of Arabia were quite good also. He played four totally different characters and he did it masterfully. I don't know if there is such a versatile movie actor today. He is my favorite actor.
La strada Barabbas..lost command..ox bow incident..guns of navarone .Lawrence of Arabia.Warlock..A dream of kings..zorba the greek. Viva zapata..the man is the greatest actor Hollywood ever had
I used to watch "Guns for San Sebastian" over and over and just to admire Quinn's acting, cause I love Westerns. I now almost, only watch old Westerns, and Quinn was in a "million" of them.
Quinn, you win.. that was an incredible film,.(Shoes of the Fisherman). I'm sure glad they didn't cast anyone else, but patiently waited. It came out after my family & I had just returned from a year in Europe, in fact we were in Rome when the Pope came out and gave audience in the square. As we know this is a story only, but the mood is reconciliation which is a timeless good mood. Kudos to the Mexican playing the Russian pope in Italy, meeting the Chinese leader. 😂 Peace & Blessings.
The first time that I watched him playing was in the movie « The Message » and he played the role of Hamza very well ! 🙌 Also, I appreciate his playing in the movie Lion of the Desert and in the movie A highly Wind in Jamaica
ANd this goes for those of the "minorities" who think that you can't succed because you are Mexican, Black, short, woman, this or that. This man is one of the most magnificent actors ever produced and ironically he is Mexican! How about that!
All kidding aside, Woody Allen asked a very good question about the nose Quinn had in his role in Lawrence of Arabia. I recently watched that movie on TV again and noticed how prominent it was and how different Quinn looked.
This man is a true movie star in every classic sense. He's magnificent in everything he does. One of my very favorite roles he played was as Mountain Rivera in Requiem for a Heavyweight. A young Cassius Clay, whom we all know as Muhammad Ali, appeared in the opening scenes. Well worth a watch.
@@devinfaucette Yes, it's true...not Greek. Just as Maria noyola says in her comment. He played Such a vast range of ethnicities...from Zorba & Ghengis Khan, to the prophet Mohammed's "Uncle Hamza", Lawrence of Arabia, an Italian Pope, just to name a few of his nearly 100 films Amazingly passionate and wonderful actor, his filmography list is to me amazing
@@devinfaucette how is he Spanish when he is Mexican? Mexican can looks European for exemple Fergie from the black eye peas she is Mexican or Chinese South Asian Indian Polynesian ecr because the native of America come from different place of asia
I met him in 1985 through a mutual acquaintance. I only recently learned that Quinn was Mexican- born as Manuel Oaxaca in Chihuahua. His dad rode with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. Before becoming an actor Quinn studied under Frank Lloyd Wright to be an architect. But he gave it up because acting paid better.
Wrong. Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca was his name, grandson of an Irish immigrant in Mexico. 'Anthony Quinn was born Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca (some sources indicate Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca) on April 21, 1915, in Chihuahua, Mexico, to Manuela (Oaxaca) and Francisco Quinn, who became an assistant cameraman at a Los Angeles (CA) film studio. His paternal grandfather was Irish, and the rest of his family was Mexican.'
@@kindnessfirst9670 Are you dumb or what's the problem? You did not mention his last name, which is QUINN. Got it now? You pretended he was solely of mexican descent which is obvioysly wrong. His last name is a hint, which is why you left it out. Remember: Lies never last.
A favourite: 'Requiem for a Heavyweight' (1962) directed by Ralph Nelson. Very nervous in this interview. Starred in almost 100 films at the time of this interview. Included are 'Island of Lost Men' (1939) co-starring Anna Mae Wong and 'The Shoes of the Fishermen' (1968) in which Anthony Quinn portrays the Pope. Died in 2001 with 169 acting credits listed on 'Internet Movie Database (IMDb)'.
No way , the role of Mountain Rivera in Requiem for a Heavyweight was one o r the best full role Quinn played and the movie is a absolute masterpiece . Off course the script is about a so dramatic story , so extreme between rebirth and fall of a strange boxer .
"But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna run to him/ Come along without, come along within/ You've not seen nothing like the Mighty Quinn...."-----from the hit song by Manfred Mann, The Mighty Quinn. This was a tribute to Quinn in the movie "The Savage Innocents".
At 3:24, while talking about the camera, Quinn expresses how you can't lie to it, you must be truthful with it, and that politicians have found that out, that they can't lie to it..................................Well, they sure figured out how to, that's for sure.
What an actor this man was. He elevated the quality of everything he was in.
His role as Auda Abu Tayi in Lawrence of Arabia is one my favorites.
Thy mother mated with a scorpion.
Now that's a Actor.
What a beautiful, sensitive, honest man. I was so sorry when his son died, too young.
Even as a Talk Show Guest Quinn shows an incredible presence and charisma. It seems that he is too big for the TV screen here. This strong and very handsome man was a REAL movie star - not only a movie actor like the stars of today.
He is bigger than the movies, he is an icon!
People stop worshiping actors why are always like that
He literally is the archetype of the term "old school movie star." They don't make 'em like they used to.
Orgullo Chihuahuense! 💚🤍❤️ el señor Don Antonio Quinn 👏
Tall, dark, and extremely handsome, a gentlemen, an actor who gave his soul to every man he played! I was heart broken when he died...
In some level, he is part of the greatest generation this country probably ever had and it looks like the country will never have one like that.
Amazing
One of my favorite actors of all time. Awesome to see this interview!
Amen to that !! His 1972 autobiography ("The Original Sin") is a delightful read !!
@@jubalcalif9100 He was a force of nature! His book "One Man Tango" is also very good!
@@befhip Thanks for the "heads up", Will ! I had not heard of "One Man Tango" till now. :-)
A unique genius actor.
Salute.
Actors and actresses of that generation were very articulate and appeared to think before they spoke. Today with one or two exceptions they're incoherent without a script.
When I was a kid I saw him in 'high wind in Jamaica'..and his role as a likeable Pirate was a showstopper....stayed with me all these years
Now I know where Brando took inspiration for the voice he made for Vito Corleone
Back when actors had class ...
Except Woody Allen, who looks like he needs to spend money on clothes. He doesn't sit properly either.
@@kayem3824 hey the guy who needs to shop for "better" clothes is a best director. Have respect haha
A fantastic actor, wonderful man.
I have a notion to second that emotion !!
Absolutely something almost Angelic albeit manly about Anthony.
Seems like a gentleman.
Anthony Quinn said in this interview that one of his favorite film was Requiem For A Heavyweight 1962. It's my favorite of his.
That was his best, and one of the grestest movies ever made, JG was at his best too, JG took the third lead in that movie (RFAHW), and he hit it out of the Park, really it put that movie over the top....
*into greatness.*
Almost 60yrs later (1962) it still makes young people cry.
One of the first films I saw on TCM 10 years ago.
One of the greatest actor of all time.
Larger than life actor. Thanks for sharing this interview. ❤️❤️❤️

An absolutely legendary actor he was. Just watched him in "The Visit" alongside Ingrid Bergman. Amazing as always.
A virtuoso actor with a great versatility of playing challenging roles. Truly authentic man who tells it like it is.
What a fantastic actor

Great actor he is old movie star loved his movies
A true icon and class act, not to mention a brilliant actor.
He was VERY handsome 😀😀
As of 2023 the Anthony Quinn library is still open in East Los Angeles 💞 on what used to be Brooklyn Ave 😃💞

great zorba to great music/mikis theodorakis passed away last september 2021 twenty years after quinn
I agree, I also read the book and some other books by Kazantzakis. There will never be anyone like Anthony Quinn
Endearing how modest he is, at the end hugging himself like a little boy, because of nerves.
Abu Taya, Barabas, The Imposter Priest, The Fisherman... SO many awesome roles.
The definition of class act. RIP
Exactly , nothing less .
Truly a fascinating man.
3 guests like quinn,remick and allen on one talk show. the quality is amazing. imagine something like that on jimmy fallon. impossible. it's been a long way down. my favorite quinn movies are la strada and viva zapata but most of his are great..
His best performance was as Ben Morgan in 'Warlock' (1959) with Henry Fonda and Richard Widmark. It's a little known film, but he's incredible in it.
Total agree..... quinn was outstanding
I loved “Warlock” too and Quinn.

I loved his acting! And my favourite of all his films with always be, "BARABBAS"! Brilliantly acted!
¡Viva el mexicano Antonio Quinn!
Compre this high class interview with what happens in Fallon and Cordon shows.
Is like going from harvard to a kindergarden
Such an interesting actor, sorry the video was so short.
Mountain Riviera Requim For A Heavy Weight was byfar my favorite role Anthony Quinn has portrayed
What a beautiful soul
This guy was a legend really nice man Anthony Quinn
Great actor ever.... 🌹🌹

he was a boxer in his youth . a professional boxer .
Anthony Quinn était très célèbre et beaucoup aimé en France.
tremendous actor, his voice, his enthusiasm, an inspiring master for so many. Also perfect speaking spanish, his mother tongue
The first time that I watched him playing was in the movie « The Message » and he played the role of Hamza very well ! 🙌
Also, I appreciate his playing in the movie Lion of the Desert and in the movie A highly Wind in Jamaica
He was also in Lawrence of Arabia. He’s played an Arab three times so I’m nominating him as an honorary Arab
ANd this goes for those of the "minorities" who think that you can't succed because you are Mexican, Black, short, woman, this or that. This man is one of the most magnificent actors ever produced and ironically he is Mexican! How about that!
LEE REMICK IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN EVER, AND CLASSY
I agree 100 per cent !!
Allen should have kept out of her space.
Yes.
@@kayem3824 the way he is hanging on her you would figure she was his wife.......what a creep.
She starred in one of my favorite films, "The Days of Wine and Roses"
His best role was Omar Al Mukhtar
Colonel Andrea Stavrou
Zorba le Grec!!!
Zampano.
Zorba the Greek
aniello dellacroce
I am respectful him because of his roles played in the previous time such as Omar Mukhtar and Hamza (ra).
All kidding aside, Woody Allen asked a very good question about the nose Quinn had in his role in Lawrence of Arabia.
I recently watched that movie on TV again and noticed how prominent it was and how different Quinn looked.

Ralph Nelson. Underrated director despite academy award.
Lee & Anthony..having a puff 😜
Another favourite
Anthony Quinn one of the Best
My favourite actor.
Love Quinn
Brilliant actor. He was amazing in Lawrence of Arabia and also on Zorba. So much charisma
Nice Brando impression towards the end
It’s the voice he used in Requiem for a Heavyweight. Released in 1962. Long before The Godfather. Brando may have coped it from him.
The smoking is epic here. lol.
Great interview great actor.
Viva Zapata!, La Strada, Lawrence of Arabia, Zorba the Greek, etc. Thank you Tony and RIP.
one of the best ...
I loved him in The Secret of Santa Vittoria. "There's one million more, where this came from."
No way , the role of Mountain Rivera in Requiem for a Heavyweight was one o r the best full role Quinn played and the movie is a absolute masterpiece . Off course the script is about a so dramatic story , so extreme between rebirth and fall of a strange boxer .
Want to see the whole show. Anthony Quinn and Woody Allen together.
Just watched him with Sophia Loren.. soooo delightful. I love his laughter. "The Black Orchid". Wow.. every expression perfect.
Anthony Quinn was a handsome man ❤
Back when they could smoke on live TV.
What a wonderful moment when he goes into his Mountain Rivera voice. "Just stay elusive..."
جَزاكَ اللهُ خَـيْراً
Quinn and Brando in Viva Zapata...legends.
A classy guy.
People, have you ever seen La Strada? This movie is a miracle!
Anthony was a "special" actor: his performances were great "experiences" to watch
I once live in his home town....interesting experience
Love Barabbas. He is also amazing in HBOs "Gotti" from the 90s, the best Gotti movie and one of the best gangster movies.
🎯..he was great in that role..
Great Actor.
One of the greatest actors who ever lived. He spoke maybe the greatest line in film history: "He married a scorpion."
"Thy mother mated with a scorpion!"
