if you don't know who this guy was or is, start watching his movies , get to know him, he is one of the best of all time! I am almost 40 and am only now truly appreciating his talents daily as I watch his legendary acting career so entertaining.
In stark contrast with today's male "stars," Mitchum combined an effortless raw masculinity with a sharp intelligence and rough, personal charm that made him irresistible to both men and women. There was no sense of phony macho or pretension on display; with Mitchum, what you saw is what you got, and cinema's all the richer for it!
Thanks for posting all this great Mitchum stuff. I'm lucky enough to have a signed postcard from him which I bought online. He was truly a great actor.
Robert Mitchum was an interview with an absurd streak a mile wide with holes of varying diameter & depth thruout. The deadpan delivery locks it. If ever there was an actor who COULD have jammed with Firesign Theater, Mitchum was the one. He was wack, the best kind of wack.
I can't believe Hampton Fancher wanted Mitchum to be the Blade Runner in 1980. He said Mitchum was still robust enough, but I don't see it five years before this.
Yeah I know what you mean...Letterman is no Frost or Cavett for sure. Mitchum is so interesting to listen to in a long interview but the best Letterman can do is keep it to a few sound bites. Its not his fault though. There is no real venue today for good solid interviews.
Letterman did a great job as interviewer that night. The mood seemed relaxed and lighthearted. But Mitchum’s continuous problems with booze wasn’t funny. He could be mean and unpleasant when he was drunk. But he was always worth listening to no matter who did the interview. I became a fan in high school after reading the long article in Rolling Stone when “Friends of Eddie Coyle” was being filmed in Boston. But I had already seen a few of his movies by then.
My first film on this channel. I enjoyed the intro although the plot description was a bit long for me. Absolutely enjoyed the other information. Especially how you don’t like the stupid shaky camera crap.
@befair1000 Sorry but Parkinson is one that seems to be unavailable. If you are really interested in some Mitchum tv interviews that are unavailable find a copy of Mitchum in His Own Words by Jerry Roberts. Some transcripts of "lost" interviews such as David Frost are included.
is it on anywhere..? i read that robert mitchum was the most challenging guest. only gave yes and no answers..well it takes 2. one to give and one to take
I love Robert Mitchum!!! His movies are terrific!! Rest in peace, handsome!!!
He'd had plastic surgery.
Incredibly handsome, sexy , SMART, and one of my very favorite actors!!!Mr. Robert....Mitchum...... Rest in peace!!!
Robert Mitchum was one of a kind! Intelligent, cool as hell, great sense of humor and down to earth.
He was a Holocaust denier.
Pure class. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
Mitchum was one of the greatests.
i could listen to mitchum tell stories all day. seriously, this guy should narrate every movie that needs a narrator
I wish Robert had his own radio show I could listen to him talk all day long loved his voice.
A naturally talented actor. Never given enough credit IMO.
i don't know why, i just love this guy . . . i find him so comedic & engaging.
One of the coolest guys ever always rocking the shades !
A true legend and a real man. a natural actor and incredibly handsome.
Not incredibly handsome, just ruggedly handsome.
Mitchum was a great interview. He was always funny and interesting.
Still cool and still handsome...I sure do miss him...Great actor...the best of the best.

@d jones So true and he doesn’t have to fake it or force it either.

Jack Nicholson clearly took notes on Mitch.

Lee Marvin??!
Standing ovation for this guy ...c'mon ...get up folks 🐄🦝🦧🐕🐮🐏🐖🐀🦇🦦🦥🐢🦚🦩🐦
Like Humphrey Bogart, Mitchum just oozed cool and confidence. My two favorite actors from Hollywood's Golden Age.
Thank you, sir. The Larry King interview would be great.
When you look up the definition of Swagger, It says Robert Mitchum.

Mitchum used to hang with Lord Buckley back in the day.
this is great I never saw this before...look forward to more Robert , ..please,..
Cool, cool, cool!
I also thought I was going to see the entire film. What a bummer. Guess I’ll have to keep looking
He was a man. Not many of them today not like him
He beat women.
I can't believe Hampton Fancher wanted Mitchum to be the Blade Runner in 1980. He said Mitchum was still robust enough, but I don't see it five years before this.

He was impeccable in The Friends of Eddie Coyle and The Big Sleep.
Class act. Every time.
Gifted actor, love his work
The most dangerous man in Hollywood
yeah. i would have given him a wide berth after what i read about him.
Looked like my dad , handsome.
Max Cady .....Cape Fear....Legend Role ...
Letterman did a great job as interviewer that night.

from two boot's of a Marine " thank you
Mr Cool! they don’t make many actors like him anymore
Mitch, read Lee Server's book, 'Baby I don't care' he was is and always will b a one-off, as was Errol Flynn, men's men before Hollywood, and after.
A read that bio twice. Mitchum was a very complicated mM.
@@ricardocantoral7672 As was Flynn, both deep thinkers erudite and laid back characters.
@@ricardocantoral7672 He also wrote another incisive book on my favourite female movie star, Ava Gardner, have you also read that?
Smart, funny, and strong as hell. My favorite actor of all time (JUST beating out Mr. Newman).
"I need a lot of tender loving care" women are like :raises hand: lol
My first film on this channel. I enjoyed the intro although the plot description was a bit long for me. Absolutely enjoyed the other information. Especially how you don’t like the stupid shaky camera crap.
good movie he made was thunder road.His son bought the 50 ford movie car.
Interesting about Lex Barker story.
Bob loved cannabis, or "gage" as he and Louis Armstrong called it.
Gordon M. He was friends with Louis Armstrong??
A younger Mitchum wouldn't have gone on this show but if he did he would have slapped Letterman back to 1947.
SO SEXY ROBERT MITCHAM ,YA HOO
Any luck on Larry King interviewing Mitchum?
He loved the weed that's why he's so laid back
"Of course on another network" 😅

Why no intro music?
Super actor dont come any better
It's a shame he had plastic surgery. He had denied the Holocaust in an interview in 1983.
is it on anywhere..? i read that robert mitchum was the most challenging guest. only gave yes and no answers..well it takes 2. one to give and one to take
Yes IT is Yep
how could he sleep if his doing weed and coke all the time .
oct 10 1985?
"Worse is better"
