The film below, In the 25th Hour, is not well known.
When I was a young man I found this film very interesting and I went to YouTube to try to find the entire film.
Unfortunately, the only thing I found from the film is the last few minutes.
I would like you to view this little clip, specifically in the last few seconds, when the photographer asked him to smile.
The expression on his face is something that is very, very difficult to portray or imitate.
Of course, it is important to try to find the film to view and understand the story.
Great story, great movie, and Giant Antony Quinn.
Thanks so much for sharing. Any way to see the 25th Hour movie by french director Henri Verneuil ?
Another great Quinn performance.

The Secret of Santa Vittoria 1969 Anthony Quinn
MUST WATCH,the late great anthony quinn,one of the truly great acting performances of any actor of his era or any era for that matter,ENJOY
This is one of the most entertaining WWII movies I haver seen.
Now over 40 years later, I still remember watching it as a boy and distinctly recall scenes like the passing of the wine bottles among e people of the village.
And what a fabulous performance (again) by Anthony Quinn, the great Mexican-Irish actor who could convincing play almost any ethnicity, it seems.
Even when he overacts or emotes too much, it's actually part of the characterization.
Ana Magnani is also magnificent as always, and Virna Lisi - what a beauty.
Anna Magnani's perfect portrayal of an Italian peasant woman was superb.
I enjoyed every moment of her performance on the screen.
Her determined strength and candor toward Quinn's character made me laugh.
A masterpiece filmed in a little town named Anticoli Corrado, near Roma.
A film with an exceptional cast with Anna Magnani, Virna Lisi, Anthony Quinn, Giancarlo Giannini, Renato Rascel and other great actors.

Zorba The Greek Movie Trailer
I had the great good fortune of having seen Anthony Quinn on Broadway in, of course, Zorba!
What a powerhouse!!! And what was even more wonderful is I got to meet him at the stage door exit. I have to admit he had the most gorgeous eyes and eyelashes I have ever seen on a man.
Mikis Theodorakis and Anthony Quinn on 29. July 1995 at the Koenigsplatz in Munich after the concert performance of "Zorba".

In The Shoes of the Fisherman (Last Scene)
+Humberto Sanchez @shenkorer I agree. Quinn was the greatest all-around actor who could play any role of any ethnic background. I found it embarrassing that the Academy Awards never gave him a lifetime Oscar.
This film, made in 1968, was based on the novel by Morris West, which envisaged a scenario whereby a Ukrainian Catholic leader called Kiril Lakuta was released from the Gulag and ended up as Pope.
It was inspired by the real case of the head of the suppressed Ukrainian Catholic Church, Metropolitan Iosyf Slipyi, who was released from the Gulag in 1963 and transported to Rome, where he was named a cardinal.
The appearance of this modern day martyr at Vatican Council II caused a sensation
