Thread Name: Lyr ADD: The Mighty Quinn (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ian and Sylvia's 'The Mighty Quinn'

Did you know there was a movie in which Anthony Quinn played an Eskimo? It was "The Savage Innocents", 1959. See http://us.imdb.com/Title?0053244 I figure it had to be the inspiration for the song, but I don't know where Dylan got the stuff about the pigeons, etc.
