They are convicts, psychos, lunkheads, losers - and champs at the box office and in movie lore. Decades after it burst onto the scene, The Dirty Dozen remains a milestone among ensemble action flicks. Lee Marvin portrays a tough as nails major volunteered in the Army way to command a squad of misfits on a suicide mission against Nazi brass.
