I had the great pleasure of working with Robert Mitchum as an actor, near the end of his career and he was a joy to behold. Calm, thoughtful and a complete natural. A real genuine human being. They don't make leading men like him anymore..
Did you hear about his escapades on Ryan’s daughter? He had a band of whores flown in from China to tend to his needs until his wife decided to visit the set he hurriedly booked a flight to send them home again 😂😂😂 Another morning when he was driving to work a Kerry farmer was driving his sheep up the road and Mitchum was cranky for being held up, he asked the farmer do you know who I am? In Ireland at the time in ireland television was only starting to come out so the farmer didn’t have a bulls notion who he was. Another night he was in the local pub where a group of young lads dared one another to go up and punch him as he was a big man, one of them took up the offer and went up to him gave him a swift paste under the jaw and before Mitchum knew what hit him the young had bolted out the door.
Someone once said how intelligent he was, but when you have nothing to back it up with, no one takes that side of you seriously. Most underrated actor ever, a face which held so many secrets.
@@rashidrahman7998 Never saw it -- where can I find it ??? Robert Mitchum didn't play "Max Cady" he was Max Cady tell which of those you mentioned was that good? I want to see it!
He died 23 years ago today and left a hole in films that can never never be filled. There was no one like him on the screen and never will be. What an actor he was! What a man he was! Never won a Oscar! Good! So many GREAT actors have never won Oscars. He is class company. Thank you Mitch for all the joy you gave and continue to give in the films you left behind.
@@ernestogalura97 No, I would not say that the Oscar is a jinx. It is just a lot of great actors either never won one or was never nominated. Cary Grant only had 1 nomination I think, and was never given the award. They did want to give him an Oscar for this body of work at the end, but he said no. Barbara Stanwyck, 4 times nominated and never won. Oscar gave her one for her body of work at the end of her life. Alfred Hitchcock never won one either. Hard to believe. Robert Mitchum is in a class of great actors and actresses and directors who have never won an Oscar. Someone should write a book about them.
@@robyncooperramsey8323 I know Cary Grant was given an honorary Oscar. So was Alfred Hitchcock. I think the last honorary Oscar was given to the Great Peter O'Toole before his death in 2013. Richard Burton didn't get an honorary Oscar because he died in 1984. He had 7 Oscar nods. So did Peter O'Toole. The late great Cary Grant was such a good actor! He deserve a boat load of Oscars. He made it look too easy. The very classy Mr. Grant! I have seen his acceptance speech! A class act he was! Oh that terrific actress Barbara Stanwyck never got an Oscar either after 4 nods, but she did get the honorary Oscar just before she died.
My first love❤. I was 12, and saw him in a movie, and said to my mom, I Love that man’. 😂. She said, you cant know you love him, yr only 12 yrs old. I said, well- i do. And have ever since, even tho he’s not here, im still’ in Love’ with him. What a ‘man’.. he had it all!
Robert Mitchum is my great grandfather. Thank you for this video. I never got to know him before he passed, and these videos help me feel like I kind of do.
My dad had a drink with Mitchum in the early 50s. Dad was sitting in a bar in Bossier City, Louisiana when Mitch walked in. A couple of drunks recognized him and started some s#$t. Mitchum knocked out both of them and bought dad a drink. I think Cape Fear was his best performance.
Robert Mitchum was best actor of his time and even now Robert Mitchum still has something that we all need. In Cape Fear his performance with just an egg on poly Bergen’s chest scared the hell out of me. In in the movie, Holiday affair. He plays this completely different character. It’s one of the sexiest movies I’ve seen. He’s very sweet, kind and falls in love with Janet Lee who is already engaged and is a single gorgeous Mom. Janet Lee wrote years later that when he kissed her, it was not a movie kiss. It was the real thing. In out of the past with Kirk Douglas, he’s amazing. Both of them are very good, but Robert Mitchum stole the whole show. It’s probably the best Film noir movie I have ever seen. I miss him so much. I love you, Robert Mitchum❤❤❤❤❤, Debra Bader
❤more love for Robert Mitchum then ever. And that’s building upon my Mothers love for him from the 1950’s as she showed me. Wonderfully made documentary.
Worked with Bob in the early 90's (3yrs on African Skies)). What a gas! Coming back from a set, Bob was in the passenger seat , he reached over and turned off the radio. Then we sang 'House of the Rising Sun' together. "Hey Bob ya want to go to the Hotel Bar and have one?" Thanks, anyway. A martuni and a doobie, in my room and I'm good".
Very handsome & talented actor. My dad had " Robert Mitchum eyes". He grew up poor during the depression, too. ( He died on July 1st, (1956,) same day as Mitchum.July 1)
His Night of the Hunter is still, to my mind, one of them most frightening and best done terror movies to this day. What modern directors try to do with props, Mitchum did with sheer presence.
Mitchum was the most believable actor who ever played a menacing role...plenty of heavy weights considered him the best actor around...including laughton....john Houston.. diNero and clint eastwood.......no one who has ever seen CAPE FEAR or NIGHT OF THE HUNTER has forgotten the great actor...fine singer and poet...Robert Mitchum....
I've never considered deniro a heavyweight rather a "Ham" very theatrical and highly over rated so it stands to reason he would be in awe of Bob Mitchum. Mickey Mouse is a far better actor than deniro!
@@owilde7554 I agree not Deniro, I never got why women liked Bogart either, skinny. I can't even stand his voice. I'd rather watch Claude Rains any day.
The perfect noir star. He believes in something - and can deal with a world that doesn’t. When he is a villain ( Cape Fear, Night of the Hunter) he is the scariest, cause all that tough quality is in the service of evil. For me, hands down, the coolest guy to work in Hollywood, ever.
Robert came into movies from need! His eyes, so worried and so anxious, showed the hard-scrabbled life he was forced to live in his youth. I think that while he comfortably "scaled the heights" of movie stardom, there was always the worry that everything could disappear in an instant! The intensity of the man showed in his eyes and reflects a man with a firm grip on reality with the undeniable worry that everything might disappear in an instant! As his career moved on, he became more comfortable, but insecurity never left him and this shows in the intensity of his personality in all the movies he made. I worship this intense actor!!!
Actually, no. At least from my impression from reading about him. He wasn't really worried, and his eyes give that half sleepy/half awake indifference. Growing up his home was always family moving in or out, his mother din't care who worked as long as somebody bought groceries. At age 2 he fell and hit his head, his mother brought him to the doctor, who said ''he has a concussion, look at his eyes'' his mother replied '' no, he always looks like that''. He and his brother were always getting into mischief. When his brother went with him across the states to California where their married sister lived; he told his brother 'We'll be hopping trains, when we jump off the cops will be shooting but just keep running ---don't look back'' Well Bob jumped off and ran but his brother chickened out and stopped, got arrested and spent a few months in jail or working on the roads sort of chain gang. After he was released he finally made it to California and found his his sister's house. There was Bob relaxing in the tub, looked at him and said ''What took you so long?''
When I saw Robert Mitchum in Isla Mujeres Mexico the early 1980s, on a rock, far from everywhere then, I was starstruck. Of course said you’re RM! He put his hand over his face like Give Me A Break. His wife came up and was so kind to me. Lovely woman
He, Robert Mitchum was nobody's fool. He had an instinct about people, and he didn't give a damn about what the Studio Heads thought. He could take them or leave them, and he mostly left them. That is why he didn't sweat it, when he got busted on the pot charge, and he said he was a Former Actor. Ha ha ha ha! He didn't get fired. Love it!
This was a fantastic portrait of Mitchum..... and deservedly so. He had so much presence. Just walking in to shot he oozed something. One of the best things I watched was Winds of War, amazing show. He clearly left his mark on those leading ladies. His son summing up his home life. Oh I came in the room to see Elvis playing the piano and singing songs with my Dad. How freaking cool is that.
Yes Elvis was invited to Sunday dinner, roast beef, teenager Christopher couldn't believe it. Btw Elvis never made it a habit to hang out with Hollywood types. My uncle worked for Universal for decades, he knew everyone but Elvis only hung out with his own guys, although you'd see him driving himself to the studio. You do know Mitchum spent a little time locked up in '49, for smoking pot.
Amazing actor! He could scare you silly, as in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER and CAPE FEAR, but he could also reassure you that you were safe with him, as in THE WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE miniseries.
Back in the late forties and early fifties, my mom and I would watch movies from the local TV stations. That's when I 1st saw "his kind of woman", and I think I've seen it at least 6 times since. I have to see Ryan's daughter, the sun downers, others...
Oh, gosh, oh gosh...so true! I detest Marlon Brando as the man he was and as a supposed "great" actor. I'm so glad Mitchum had that insight and put it to such perfect words.
@@victoriajarvis2260 Maybe should watch, 'LISTEN TO ME MARLON.'. Most Misunderstood Actor Ever. Brando was a child From Abusive Relationship, with a Mean and Nasty Father.
Amazingly wonderful man who had feelings, knew what he wanted, was no pushover, who was also very compassionate. Handsom too! Great actor! He was no robot! A man of his own. R.I.P. Robert. There will never be another you!💗👏👍✌
Robert Mitchum is realistic, subtle, and understated in Friends of Eddie Coyle, perhaps my favorite of his performances (another favorite is Track of the Cat).
When Mitchum got arrested for smoking pot - it was almost certainly 'the end of his career'. But the next day in newspapers all across the country they reported what Mitchum said when the cop asked him his profession. "Former movie actor." The whole country laughed at that and if anything it enhanced his 'bad boy' reputation. .
I said in the '70s as soon as the government figures out how to make money off of pot they will legalize It. According to a CPA I know you can grow as much as you want but you will get 50% in taxes of your profit to the government. And there you go, government doesn't give a crap about you and your well-being they just want their money
@@BKMDano17 The gubmint makes billions off casinos, selling drugs and prostitution (those escort services do everything on credit cards and pay every penny of their taxes) - who needs the old Mafia.
Oh yes, ha ha ha. I do remember that when that happened. Yes, cool, mellow, and nonchalant. I love the way he took or looked at life. And he definitely deserved to have gotten some Oscars for his performances! I've noticed that Actors that definitely deserved to get that award, Never got them! Those awards are rigged in my opinion!
I was working at the newly remodeled Desert Inn Hotel and Casino in 1978. Robert Mitchum was there to dedicate a plaque to Howard Hughes who had recently passed away. I think they were friends, but not sure! Hughes owned the Desert Inn along with 4 other hotel casinos in Vegas . As I was going to lunch, I walked thru the coffee shop, Robert Mitchum was sitting alone near the entrance. He was wearing sunglasses and just sitting by himself. I totally regret that I didn't stop at his table as I walked by, if only to tell him how much I admired his acting. But employees were instructed not to speak to celebrities so I kept walking. I told a waitress as I passed into the employees back Hall that Robert Mitchum was sitting alone at the table by the entrance wearing sunglasses. She didn't believe me at first, but realized that it really was him!
Robert Mitchum also had a quality that its extremely rare, which was that he had a photographic memory. He could read an entire script just once, and have it completely memorized! To me that is incredible! He never wasted anybodys time with re-takes. Other people will verify that. I also loved his mellow and cool personality, never any histerical melodrama with this cool dude. I Love him!
No chance. We live in a different age now. Have you read Baby I Don't Care? The biography of Mitchum? He was a very humble guy loved smoking weed or gage as he and Louis Armstrong called it! Night of the Hunter is a tour de force as is Heaven Knows Mr Allison with Deborah Kerr.
I love all of their stories about Robert Mitchum . My favorite story is his son telling the story about Elvis coming to their house when he was growing up and playing the piano . I've heard another story about Robert Mitchum going to Elvis' dressing room in Los Vegas . They said Elvis liked those cowboy movies when he was growing up . I can see how everyone loved him . It's so strange when you have seen that face your whole life , but you never met him in person ever . Seems like he's a part of the family , because his face is so familiar . Love this video !! Thank you for sharing this !!
Loved him in Winds of War and War and Remembrance. Really enjoyed the love story of “Pug and Pamela” played by the gorgeous actress Victoria Tennant. He really rocked a navy uniform even in his later years.
I always thought Robert Mitcham was a great actor, especially since I thought he was tough. I grew up watching reruns of his movies on a black and white television. He was one of my favorite actors.
Thank you for presenting the Robert Mitchum we suspected but didn’t know. He’s always been my favorite and will continue on to be so. So few actors display what being masculine is. So many have little boy features all their lives that it’s sometimes difficult to play a mature masculine role. That definitely wasn’t true about Robert Mitchum.
I was only 12 when I saw Not as a Stranger. I am nearly 80 but that film made a stamp on my memory. I thought it was wonderful.. I saw him later in Ryan’s daughter. He had what it takes ❤️
Probably my favourite actor of all time, he made it seem so effortless. And so humble about what he did. He said of acting that it was just showing up on time, knowing your lines, your marks, and that's it. But few were as natural and gifted at it as he was.
Right on the nose there Beth. My Dad told me a story of how he asked my Great Grandfather, who served in the Navy in WWII, if Mitch's portrayal of a skipper was accurate in "The Enemy Below". Great Grandpa apparently leaned back, his arms behind his head and looked to the ceiling and said plainly; "JD was the same way." That's enough for me!
My father-in-law abandoned at age 11. Box cars all over Canada and U.S.A. Recited poetry and ballads learned from other hobos (always said hobos worked their way, weren't beggers, bums) He died at 94 2001 and was still reciting. When he met his wife of 63 years it was forever home and called her "mama", but nothing unmanly about this gentleman. More zest for life than 20 something years olds now days.
Oh yes! My two favorite Philip Marlowe actors are Robert Mitchum and Gerald Mohr. Look for Gerald Mohr's rendition of Philip Marlowe, and I think you'll like it. He has a great voice, and attitude or personality!
He was one of a kind! He never gave a bad performance. I watch him in all his movies! Wow what a guy! A man in every since of the word! That deep voice! That i don't give a damn attitude and that swagger! And boy could he act. He never won an Oscar. Shame on the Academy, but a lot of great actors never won one either so that says something about the Academy. Robert Mitchum Happy 102nd Birthday! Gone 22 years now, but you have never been forgotten and never will be. Thank you for all the films you left behind.
Robert Mitchum and Burt Lancaster are the most under rated actors of our times. In my book "Heaven knows Mr. Allison" is a master piece ,mind you that the whole movie is a dialogue of two persons. How many movies or actors have you seen than can keep you glued to the screen with just two actors. A great tribute to a great actor.
I totally agree....."Heaven Knows" is one of my FAVORITES. The "delicate flower" (Deborah Kerr)...and the "tough as nails" MARINE. If Mitchum had not been 'available' for this role...Lee Marvin would (probably) have done a 'great' job too. Another movie which consisted of only 2 characters was "My Dinner With Andre". I believe (both) Siskel and Ebert gave it a "Thumbs Up".
Robert Mitchum acted like he just didn't give a fuck. It was his nonchalant way of performing that made him so damn good, special. He reminded me so much of my dad who went through life with a kind of carelessness that what ever went on, what ever happened, was not up to him. The other guy had to take the first punch but then dad, Robert, would respond in kind. Amazing man, terrific actor.
He showed up at Elvis penthouse one night barely announced. He had a bottle of liquor and a script. He wanted Elvis to play in a movie with him. He told him he felt like Elvis was right for a part in a movie with him about racing. Elvis was already booked up for a couple of years but he really liked Elvis. They became friends and visited back and forth. Elvis had That same chiseled good looks and he told Elvis you’d be perfect for the part of my son. He tried to figure out how to get the studios to get Elvis into his movie. But That was colonel Parker’s fault. Elvis would have been great in a movie with Robert Mitchum. He told Elvis you don’t have to sing. Elvis loved that.
@@gracieg7601 Yes but one thing; usually you don't see 2 top notch celebrities for the price of one ticket. RHO was sort of a lower ranking studio, less pay, less prestigue,. Elvis wouldn't have cared but the demonic Tom Parker wouldn't go for that. Btw at Elvis' funeral Parker said ''I made him who he was'' Elvis' friend said ''Yeah? make another one''.
I'd also like to thank you for all the stars that he worked with. It was fun seeing how they were there and how they are now. You covered this quite nicely
In my opinion, Mitchum's greatest role was as the Marine in "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison." It perfectly reveals both sides of the man, the hard and the vulnerable, in a truly unforgettable film. When you include the luminous and perfectly cast Deborah Kerr, you have a classic movie of tremendous pathos and irony. Catch it.
Yes, the scene in which he begs for forgiveness from Deborah Kerr's nun the morning after he finally verbalized the I-need-a-woman-now sexual longing he had been able to suppress while with her on the island. Simply irresistable to see effortless vulnerability in eyes, voice, and body language from a charismatic and strong-featured American male actor.
@@davidallen508 What was she supposed to call him, "Jarhead"?? You obviously know nothing about how a proper nun would speak, much less how to speak to a king. You could lose your freaking HEAD for addressing royalty in such a disrespectful way.
Thank you, you have done a fantastic job. I really enjoy this experience that you've given us. I'm a fan of Robert Mitchum, in this really was a great experience thank you.

Awesome Actor! A true LEGEND

He was a great actor with good looks and voice.
The perfect noir star. He believes in something - and can deal with a world that doesn’t.
When he is a villain ( Cape Fear, Night of the Hunter) he is the scariest, cause all that tough quality is in the service of evil.
For me, hands down, the coolest guy to work in Hollywood, ever.
Robert came into movies from need!
His eyes, so worried and so anxious, showed the hard-scrabbled life he was forced to live in his youth. I think that while he comfortably "scaled the heights" of movie stardom, there was always the worry that everything could disappear in an instant!

My uncle worked for Universal for decades, he knew everyone but Elvis only hung out with his own guys, although you'd see him driving himself to the studio. You do know Mitchum spent a little time locked up in '49, for smoking pot.
Marvellous actor. Loved his movies. Beautiful deep velvet voice. Gorgeous man.
Well spoken blast from the past. I am now 64 and have enjoyed his acting as long as I can remember.
Amazing actor! He could scare you silly, as in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER and CAPE FEAR, but he could also reassure you that you were safe with him, as in THE WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE miniseries.
Was night of the hunter the movie where he plays a killer preacher. Scared the shite out of me!!!!!!!!!!
Was terrific in winds of war, remembered as a alpha male who leads soldiers and loved his women
Back in the late forties and early fifties, my mom and I would watch movies from the local TV stations. That's when I 1st saw "his kind of woman", and I think I've seen it at least 6 times since.
I have to see Ryan's daughter, the sun downers, others...
Underrated actor. It’s nice that they honoured him while he was alive.
An awesome acting in Cape Fear with Gregory Peck. Wow. Awesome 🙏
And as Max Caddie.....
Way more frightening than Deniro .
One of my favorite quotes from an actor: When Mitchum was asked whether he'd ever made a movie with Brando: "Brando's never made a movie with anyone."
no koo u 7 6
Oh, gosh, oh gosh...so true! I detest Marlon Brando as the man he was and as a supposed "great" actor. I'm so glad Mitchum had that insight and put it to such perfect words.
@@victoriajarvis2260 Maybe should watch, 'LISTEN TO ME MARLON.'. Most Misunderstood Actor Ever.
Brando was a child From Abusive Relationship, with a Mean and Nasty Father.
Ha ha ha ha ha! That was a good line he came up with, and I love it, cuz I don't care for Brando, and never did.
I think Brando's motto was.
"ME , MYSELF & I." Since he was so wrapped up in himself. What an ego he had, just sickening!
He and John Wayne together was pure perfection!
What an man absolutely one of a kind seems so genuine a real man
Amazingly wonderful man who had feelings, knew what he wanted, was no pushover, who was also very compassionate. Handsom too! Great actor! He was no robot! A man of his own. R.I.P. Robert. There will never be another you!💗👏👍✌
He was an anti-Semite.

Mitch was "real". One could get so engrossed in his character. Such a wonderful man who cared for others. A rarity.
Robert Mitchum is realistic, subtle, and understated in Friends of Eddie Coyle, perhaps my favorite of his performances (another favorite is Track of the Cat).
I agree, Track of the Cat is a wonderful film
Love Robert Mitchum movies 💕💕💕
Loved him when I was young, love him still! ♥️
For me "The Night of the Hunter " just terrified me when i first saw it, great movie.
When Mitchum got arrested for smoking pot - it was almost certainly 'the end of his career'. But the next day in newspapers all across the country they reported what Mitchum said when the cop asked him his profession. "Former movie actor." The whole country laughed at that and if anything it enhanced his 'bad boy' reputation. .
I said in the '70s as soon as the government figures out how to make money off of pot they will legalize It. According to a CPA I know you can grow as much as you want but you will get 50% in taxes of your profit to the government. And there you go, government doesn't give a crap about you and your well-being they just want their money
@@BKMDano17 The gubmint makes billions off casinos, selling drugs and prostitution (those escort services do everything on credit cards and pay every penny of their taxes) - who needs the old Mafia.
Oh yes, ha ha ha. I do remember that when that happened. Yes, cool, mellow, and nonchalant. I love the way he took or looked at life. And he definitely deserved to have gotten some Oscars for his performances! I've noticed that Actors that definitely deserved to get that award, Never got them! Those awards are rigged in my opinion!
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 The low key, expert natural actors often missed out on a Oscar to a flashier dramatic actor.
I loved Robert Mitchum's style of acting. He was "cool" long before that word came into vogue.
Most definitely he was
True❤ and a real mans man
THose were the days and we thought they would never end RIP Loved him to bit A fine actor
Hello Ann, How are you doing?
He got just what is fading away more and more PERSONALITY.
His facial expressions were superb and so naturalp
I was working at the newly remodeled Desert Inn Hotel and Casino in 1978. Robert Mitchum was there to dedicate a plaque to Howard Hughes who had recently passed away. I think they were friends, but not sure! Hughes owned the Desert Inn along with 4 other hotel casinos in Vegas . As I was going to lunch, I walked thru the coffee shop, Robert Mitchum was sitting alone near the entrance. He was wearing sunglasses and just sitting by himself. I totally regret that I didn't stop at his table as I walked by, if only to tell him how much I admired his acting. But employees were instructed not to speak to celebrities so I kept walking. I told a waitress as I passed into the employees back Hall that Robert Mitchum was sitting alone at the table by the entrance wearing sunglasses. She didn't believe me at first, but realized that it really was him!
Best actor ever! My father looked a lot like him. RIP 7/1/97
Robert Mitchum also had a quality that its extremely rare, which was that he had a photographic memory. He could read an entire script just once, and have it completely memorized! To me that is incredible! He never wasted anybodys time with re-takes. Other people will verify that. I also loved his mellow and cool personality, never any histerical melodrama with this cool dude. I Love him!
I think I mis-spelled hysterical, I apologize for that. I wasn't thinking right.
He also had a great aptitude for accents ie: Australian, which he almost had.And Irish as well. A GRREAT actor 💖💖
Beautiful Jane Russel laughed when she said Mitchum would call his lines ''lyrics''. ''I HAVE TO LEARN MY LYRICS''.
Spencer Tracy was the same way.
Not to mention his rich masculine voice.
Mitchum. McQueen. Marvin. Bronson. These were real tough guys who lead rough & tumble lives. We won't see their sort again.
No chance. We live in a different age now. Have you read Baby I Don't Care? The biography of Mitchum? He was a very humble guy loved smoking weed or gage as he and Louis Armstrong called it! Night of the Hunter is a tour de force as is Heaven Knows Mr Allison with Deborah Kerr.
Gordon M. I haven't read his autobio and I've seen Hunter but not Mrs Allison. But I'll def check them out thanks.

winstoneism wats your point

My favorite..RIP Mitchum
What an incredible man.❤
I love all of their stories about Robert Mitchum . My favorite story is his son telling the story about Elvis coming to their house when he was growing up and playing the piano . I've heard another story about Robert Mitchum going to Elvis' dressing room in Los Vegas . They said Elvis liked those cowboy movies when he was growing up . I can see how everyone loved him . It's so strange when you have seen that face your whole life , but you never met him in person ever . Seems like he's a part of the family , because his face is so familiar . Love this video !! Thank you for sharing this !!
Robert Mitchum was one of my all time favorite actors. Both personally and professionally. 💋
Loved him in Winds of War and War and Remembrance. Really enjoyed the love story of “Pug and Pamela” played by the gorgeous actress Victoria Tennant. He really rocked a navy uniform even in his later years.
I’m going to rewatch the series soon. I watched it on TV. God, where did that time go?
I always thought Robert Mitcham was a great actor, especially since I thought he was tough. I grew up watching reruns of his movies on a black and white television. He was one of my favorite actors.
Winds of War and War and Rememberance were brilliant.
My favorite actor. What a man
Thank you for presenting the Robert Mitchum we suspected but didn’t know. He’s always been my favorite and will continue on to be so. So few actors display what being masculine is. So many have little boy features all their lives that it’s sometimes difficult to play a mature masculine role. That definitely wasn’t true about Robert Mitchum.
I was only 12 when I saw Not as a Stranger. I am nearly 80 but that film made a stamp on my memory. I thought it was wonderful.. I saw him later in Ryan’s daughter. He had what it takes ❤️
Probably my favourite actor of all time, he made it seem so effortless. And so humble about what he did. He said of acting that it was just showing up on time, knowing your lines, your marks, and that's it. But few were as natural and gifted at it as he was.
James Stewart, Clark Gable, John Wayne,Humphrey Bogart ETC !
A very handsome man an incredible star. His son is like he was
"Holiday Affair" one of my all time favorite films. Robert Mitchum at his best in a silly little rom com Christmas movie. Sad it's not mentioned here.
Some great films in his C.V. He is simply magnificent in 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle". An underrated masterclass in the art of cinema
This generation of actors were like no other. Todays actors could seriously take lessons from these great men.
Right on the nose there Beth. My Dad told me a story of how he asked my Great Grandfather, who served in the Navy in WWII, if Mitch's portrayal of a skipper was accurate in "The Enemy Below". Great Grandpa apparently leaned back, his arms behind his head and looked to the ceiling and said plainly; "JD was the same way." That's enough for me!
It wouldn't help. Like Mitchum said, you cant go to school to learn how to be tall.
Of
My heart throb❤️😘🥰❤️
Robert Mitchum grew up in a very difficult, yet unique time in this country's history, a time that we will never see again.
My father-in-law abandoned at age 11. Box cars all over Canada and U.S.A. Recited poetry and ballads learned from other hobos (always said hobos worked their way, weren't beggers, bums) He died at 94 2001 and was still reciting. When he met his wife of 63 years it was forever home and called her "mama", but nothing unmanly about this gentleman. More zest for life than 20 something years olds now days.
Loved Robert Mitchum he was a handsome man and talented and just loved his voice he was a great actor
I think men that truly know themselves are always attractive and very interesting. It just somehow makes them good looking
My favorite is "Out of the Past." Beautiful Eastern Sierra setting, gloriously filmed in black and white and it's great film noir.
Yes, one of the great film noir movies.
Yes! My favorite Mitchum film!
Love this man. Love Mitchum's version of Philip Marlowe. The wisecracking and cynical private detective.
Oh yes! My two favorite Philip Marlowe actors are Robert Mitchum and Gerald Mohr. Look for Gerald Mohr's rendition of Philip Marlowe, and I think you'll like it. He has a great voice, and attitude or personality!
He may have been a "reluctant star", but he sure was a massive one, in my eyes anyway. I just loved the guy.
Yes. He was inescapably compelling.
Perfect voice.
Robert Mitchum Lee Marvin James Coburn all of them had perfect voices.
He was one of a kind! He never gave a bad performance. I watch him in all his movies! Wow what a guy! A man in every since of the word! That deep voice! That i don't give a damn attitude and that swagger! And boy could he act. He never won an Oscar. Shame on the Academy, but a lot of great actors never won one either so that says something about the Academy. Robert Mitchum Happy 102nd Birthday! Gone 22 years now, but you have never been forgotten and never will be. Thank you for all the films you left behind.
He's not 102 years old when he's been dead for 22...
@@ih82r8 He was born in 1917! 103 years ago. He died on July 1st 1997 at the age of 79! He would have been 80 years old that August 6th.
i dont understand why folks say that, he never made it to 102, i mean at what age or year does it stop?
Happy Birthday Gorgeous. August 6th. Miss You Always
He walked the talk. Never be another Mitchum.
I don't know anything about acting, but if I'm surfing through the channels and I see Mitchum in a movie I'll stop and watch every time.👍
Robert Mitchum and Burt Lancaster are the most under rated actors of our times.
In my book "Heaven knows Mr. Allison" is a master piece ,mind you that the whole movie
is a dialogue of two persons.
How many movies or actors have you seen than can keep you glued to the screen with just two actors.
A great tribute to a great actor.
I totally agree....."Heaven Knows" is one of my FAVORITES. The "delicate flower" (Deborah Kerr)...and the "tough as nails" MARINE. If Mitchum had not been 'available' for this role...Lee Marvin would (probably) have done a 'great' job too. Another movie which consisted of only 2 characters was "My Dinner With Andre". I believe (both) Siskel and Ebert gave it a "Thumbs Up".
Yes he was outstanding in that movie~!!!!
WOW, this was great, Jane Greer was such a goddess in her day and they worked so well together
One of my favorite actors of all time. Great Robert Mitchum.
Love that little dimple in his chin a good looker too love his swagger in his walk. Him and John Wayne had it
He was just a man not different ffom any other. An imperfect human being. He was a great entertainer. and that's all matters to us.
What an interesting story. From Felton and Dover, Delaware of all places. Loved his acting
Enjoyed watching Roberts struggle to stardom. He played the character effortlessly, my role model
I love Robert in the brilliant Western Elderado with John Wayne and Robert. This is my favourite film.
He's what you remember most.
Robert Mitchum acted like he just didn't give a fuck. It was his nonchalant way of performing that made him so damn good, special. He reminded me so much of my dad who went through life with a kind of carelessness that what ever went on, what ever happened, was not up to him. The other guy had to take the first punch but then dad, Robert, would respond in kind. Amazing man, terrific actor.
Then you were fortunate to have had such a dad Dee' good for you.
He showed up at Elvis penthouse one night barely announced. He had a bottle of liquor and a script. He wanted Elvis to play in a movie with him. He told him he felt like Elvis was right for a part in a movie with him about racing. Elvis was already booked up for a couple of years but he really liked Elvis. They became friends and visited back and forth. Elvis had That same chiseled good looks and he told Elvis you’d be perfect for the part of my son. He tried to figure out how to get the studios to get Elvis into his movie. But That was colonel Parker’s fault. Elvis would have been great in a movie with Robert Mitchum. He told Elvis you don’t have to sing. Elvis loved that.
Always liked Robert Mitchum loved his casual so what style of acting and in my book a very handsome man
@@gracieg7601 Yes but one thing; usually you don't see 2 top notch celebrities for the price of one ticket. RHO was sort of a lower ranking studio, less pay, less prestigue,. Elvis wouldn't have cared but the demonic Tom Parker wouldn't go for that. Btw at Elvis' funeral Parker said ''I made him who he was'' Elvis' friend said ''Yeah? make another one''.
@@gracieg7601 Mitch was handsome, rugged but I wouldn't say chiseled features, Elvis yes of course.
He wasn't full of himself. He seemed so natural.
Exactly - and yet he could have been.
I always liked Mitchum no matter what he was always good.
I'd also like to thank you for all the stars that he worked with. It was fun seeing how they were there and how they are now. You covered this quite nicely
What a wonderful natural born actor was Mitchum! Rest In Peace dear Robert.
Night of the Hunter was a masterpiece. It frightened me as a mother but as a child I identified with the little girl.
I always loved to watch him.
WHAT a MAN!!!
In my opinion, Mitchum's greatest role was as the Marine in "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison." It perfectly reveals both sides of the man, the hard and the vulnerable, in a truly unforgettable film. When you include the luminous and perfectly cast Deborah Kerr, you have a classic movie of tremendous pathos and irony. Catch it.
It's my favorite of his
@@ih82r8
I've waited YEARS for someone to stay that!! I try to watch it every couple of years or so, for the past 50-years. Thanks:)
Yes, the scene in which he begs for forgiveness from Deborah Kerr's nun the morning after he finally verbalized the I-need-a-woman-now sexual longing he had been able to suppress while with her on the island. Simply irresistable to see effortless vulnerability in eyes, voice, and body language from a charismatic and strong-featured American male actor.
@@davidallen508
What was she supposed to call him, "Jarhead"?? You obviously know nothing about how a proper nun would speak, much less how to speak to a king. You could lose your freaking HEAD for addressing royalty in such a disrespectful way.
I agree ❤️ed that movie
Thank you, you have done a fantastic job. I really enjoy this experience that you've given us. I'm a fan of Robert Mitchum, in this really was a great experience thank you.
