My father in law did not think much of Mr Borgnine, had only seen him in From Here to Eternity. Gave him a copy of Wild Bunch and it turned him into a fan.
Apparently, when he was filming Marty, some of the guys from the neighborhood were going to put a beating on him for his treatment of Sinatra's character in that flick. He talked them out of it, helped in this by being able to speak Italian. He related this story in an interview I saw.
I don't think I have ever seen anything Mr Borgnine was not outstanding in, great actor, heckuva guy
