From the Back Cover
Born in Mexico, Anthony Quinn became his family's main provider when his father died in an accident. About "a thousand" jobs later, he appeared in a Cecil B. DeMille film and promptly married the director's daughter. After countless roles as Mexican bandits and Indian warriors, Quinn left Hollywood for Europe-and became an international success. This video biography takes a look at the character actor turned Academy Award-winning star through the words of Quinn himself, as well as colleagues including Julie Harris, Tony Franciosa, Gina Lollobrigida and Federico Fellini. It also includes clips from Quinn's legendary performances in movies such as La Strada, Lawrence of Arabia, The Guns of Navarone, Wild is the Wind and Zorba the Greek.
