Private Screenings: Anthony Quinn (1999)
*** (out of 4)
Early entry in Robert Osborne's series through Turner Classic Movies has two-time Oscar winner Anthony Quinn discussing his life and movies. In terms of movies, as Quinn states, he has worked with some of the all time greats and we get stories about Fellini, Brando, Douglas and Cecil B. DeMille. I was hoping this episode would have been better than it actually was because Quinn worked with so many people yet a lot of talk doesn't go towards any of them. What we do get is pretty good but this is certainly a case where more would have been a lot better. Quinn does comment on what he's doing currently (this was recorded two years before his death) and it appears he was having a great time. With thirteen children, painting and just enjoying life. Some of the movie talk includes LUST FOR LIFE and VIVA ZAPATA!, two films that won him an Oscar. Quinn does talk quite a bit about his personal life including his numerous affairs and why he needed to cheat on his wives.
