Mitchum was starting a movie with Loretta Young. After he swore, she approached him with a can. "What's this for?" he asked. She said it was her swearing can. She disapproved of bad language and any time anyone on the set swore, they had to put a quarter in the can (the money going to charity). Mitchum pulled out a $5 bill and put it in the can and said, "That should cover it for today."
Mr. Mitchum seems so humble and overwhelmed by this award. Bless him...
most actors go on almost crying for three minutes but he goes up high and without a prepared speech lol
For a fact: Robert Mitchum's charisma dominated nearly every scene he acted in.
He will always be a Hollywood legend.
He was a one-note actor.
To anyone who had the pleasure to watch him act, Mr Robert Mitchum was one of the greatest actors of all time.

I Loved reading your comment. It made me smile. Robert Mitchum
Has been my favorite actor of all time!! He was an outstanding actor.
Mitchum never lost his cool or his humble ways. His understated acting was unbelievable. His "Cape Fear" role was one of the most menacing I've ever seen...and the movie Night of the Hunter is breathtaking. The lid was closed on Hollywood greatness when this generation of actors passed on. Never be like this again.
He just looked like a fat alcoholic slob, not "menacing" at all.
The magnificent Robert Mitchum, in the same league with John Wayne, Clark Gable, Robert Taylor, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster, Alan Ladd, Jeff Chandler, Charlton Heston, Tony Curtis, Gary Cooper, James Stewart, James Cagney. Terrific when he wanted to be, very good most of the time. God bless him.
He was at his best in his 1940s/50s film noir.
We will never ever forget his memorable role as an irish school teacher in that beautiful movie RAYANS DAUGHTER
Bing Crosby? Jeff Chandler? Hello??
@@jochenstossberg5427 absolutely yes. Just watch Going My Way, The Bells of St. Mary's, The Country Girl with Bing Crosby; The Broken Arrow, Away All Boats, Man in the Shadow with Jeff Chandler. They were both very very good
Along with Cagney and Stewart he was in a different league to the rest of those you list,some of whom were very average at best.
What a humble, charismatic man. I just loved Bob Mitchem. He was one of my favourite actors. He was a real film star. So many memorable roles, too many to name. He always gave strong, quality performances. RIP Bob, miss you x
Who doesn't love Robert Mitchum? He was cool before cool was cool... and didn't bragged about it. A true legend indeed. I envy the people that shared time in his movies, whether on or off the set. May he rest in peace.
He died in 1997.....one of the greatest of them all.
Only a day before the equally legendary Jimmy Stewart.
Just before he died, he smoked a cigarette and had a shot of tequila. Also, his sister claimed he reached out to her and told her that he was alright.
@@ricardocantoral7672 how is that possible? My dad also had emphysema & lung cancer & ended up with pneumonia & a brain tumor! That’s probably just a story. You can see he was struggling to even walk at this point, he lost a ton of weight & was having trouble with his words! He wasn’t drunk here...and in the dying state of such a horrible death...that’s highly unlikely he would be lucky to even be breathing never mind swallowing.
what a cool and handsome star...Hollywood royalty and he looks so sharp and stylish even here
He was better than John Wayne
@@seanfitzpatrick4730 yes!
@@KatharinaK117 thanks for sharing Mitchum should be more popular than he is he's always been one of my favorites thank you
@@seanfitzpatrick4730 I liked to watch him, too! As a child and teen...I was a cineast...
My all time hero as an actor as a singer is Robert Mitchum ! He deserves the award and one can see his sincerity for what he did for the silver screen ! 💘❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍💓
Mitchum "abides and endures". "Time proof and weather proof" Two quotes from his greatest films. 100 years ago today he was born and yet he always feels contempoary. Salute...
Night of the Hunter and Out of the Past.
Bless his heart..he was #1..one of the best actors that ever graced the big screen..
This award was late in arriving but at least he Robert Mitchum was still alive to receive it. Mr. Mitchum is and has always been a favorite of mine. I'm grateful to my mother for having introduced me to all the actors of old Hollywood. Like she always said they are the actors that could truly act. With Robert Mitchum it wasn't like he was ever acting and you don't find that often with today's actors. I recall when he passed away it was sad to me. Always liked him. R.I.P.
He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award! High time! He looks like he’s having a lot of trouble finding his words...also like the dementia my mother had. I’m so glad they finally decided...”we’ll..,it’s about time we honor this man!”
@@cynthiaennis3107 Yeah, he wasn't into the Hollywood scene, he was serious about doing his job and that was acting. Other than that he never wanted anything to do with the limelight and being out there when he wasn't working he was more of the home body kind of person. His sons had said a number of times that their dad was the actors, actor and cared nothing for the spotlight he was a serious actor. And then went home at the end of his filming.
Robert Mitchum never thought he was above others. He felt more at ease with the movie crew than the so called stars. He was actually self conscience which is probably why he drank while working. My favourite quality of him is his honesty. And the fact he always complimented his wife for her patience and understanding him. They were married at 16 and remained together until his passing.
They were in their early 20s when they married.
Wonderful tribute you gave.
@@kathepaine7663 True, But I think he had proposed to her when they were younger.
I like the movie that he did with Marilyn Monroe too. The name of that movie escapes me at the moment. She actually had said at first she was a bit scared of him. But, after working with him she felt really comfortable and secure. He was kind and a very serious man and actor. He knew very well what he wanted and how he wanted to come across on screen. He knew his stuff in short.
@@ontheroadhome4796 "River of No Return".
He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award soon! High time, too! It was quite overdue! He looks like he’s having a lot of trouble finding his words...also like the dementia my mother had. I’m so glad they finally decided...”Well, it’s about high time we honor this great actor!” He surely deserved it! Loved Robert Mitchum in so many things! ♥️
🏆🎭💐🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I doubt it. This is 5 years before he died. It may have been his COPD/Emphysema (and ageing ) but not cancer (yet).
To see the epitome of cool made flesh, check out his 1971 interview with Dick Cavett. Enough to make grown men swoon.
Such an extraordinary man!! To think of him riding the rails as a young man. The most natural of talents that Hollywood would ever know
Robert Mitchum ! WOW !!
A TRUE LEGEND❗
GOD BLESS HIM 🙏
R.I.P. ...🙏
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED...
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Night of The Hunter one of the most inest crafted films and acting by which all others will be measured.
And he wasn't even nominated! What a crock. A truly marvelous actor, never acknowledged much. He was slighted for The Friends of Eddie Coyle, as well. Glad he finally got some much overdue recognition. Warren Beatty had the right idea, applauding, clapping with obvious enthusiasm.
What a interesting and amazing life....would make a great movie
TRULY THE GREATEST!!! Robert Mitchum, love ya babe!!
A True acting legend Ryans Daughter was epic .
and they didn't give him an AFI lifetime achievement award, neither an Oscar. That's a real problem for AFI and for the Academy !!
And how not to love this guy...truly...honestly...I mean it !
You can hear him trying to get his breath here. Not long for the world. A classy man.
He’s...true, sad, but I’m glad they finally got around to honoring him with this award!
has enyone seen Robert Mitchums performance in SECRET CEREMONY 1968 it was simply psychologically stunning performance to date Elizabeth Taylor co starred
I believe Bob Mitchum when he stats that he is a great fan of Michael Caine. Like Mitchum, Caine has done superior acting work for fifty years and made it seem effortless. Mitchum did a variety of films that have stood the test of time, including Laughton's marvelous Night Of The Hunter; Cape Fear; Zinnemann's The Sundowners; Huston's Heaven Knows Mr. Allison; David Lean's Ryan's Daughter and Minnelli's Home From The Hill. Great man.
Also, The Friends of Eddie Coyle.
And, Caine is great too. Two legends, right there.
Mitchum: manly, wrote poetry, attractive as hell, did his own thing, smart, loyal, real. Good actor, who played heavies par excellence: he could project sheer evil better than than just about anyone this side of Anthony Hopkins.
Reading the remarks below, I agree with many, and yes, he married once, but that doesn't mean, pennymelinda1, that he didn't cheat: he may or may not have done so, but how would we ever know? He kept his private life private, and probably had a hell of a private life More power to him Loved this actor RIP
Alana Ronald Oh he cheated but his wife stuck with him for nearly 60 years.
He wrote poetry? Wow! Loved to see old movies as a child and teen... nomore! Forget this pit of satanic CABALE hellyweird !
And, while known for his boozing, it's rumored he got high, which just adds to his iconic legend. He knew how to be discreet, despite the business he was in. A true icon.
I love Robert Mitchell from Thunder Road to Cape Fear and then Jim jarmusch dead man. Absolutely incredible.
Robert wanted Elvis to be in Thunder Road!!!!!
God I remember this when I was young saw my Dad watched several movies staring Robert Mitchum he is truly one of the great movie stars ever
Charles Laughton, who directed Mitch in Night of the Hunter, said he was the greatest actor ever to appear in front of a camera.
One of the greatests.
absolutely love him
Mitchum, Bogart and Stewart. My three favorites from Hollywood's Golden Age.
Geesh. Why the need to start endless arguments with pointless comparisons? John Wayne and Robert Mitchum were both icons with very little if any formal training. They were both great. Still are.
Fantástico Ator lembro muito dele nos filmes principalmente Midway,O mais longo dos dias entre outros com timbre de voz forte ...🇧🇷✍️🙏👍👏💪🎬🎞 luzes,câmera,ação...📣📽
Oh how I love that man!
Humility...... A lost art these days
A true legend - once his character had a name and a role, everything else looked like he'd rehearsed it before the part was even written.
It doesn't often get a mention, but _'The Enemy Below'_ is a stunning example of how to craft a war drama with not a crumb of excess or waste.
His calibre of actor remains a true rarity.
Greatest actor that ever lived.
I adore him. He had a look. A charisma. A certain way he carried himself that was so unique. I saw a pic of him when he was young. Like late teenager. On the beach in a bathing suit. Holy smokes he was gorgeous. So handsome and the biggest shoulders I've ever seen. Barrel chested with a tiny waist. He looked better then a Greek god.
That’s a great photo! I know the one you mean! Hot stuff, he was! 🔥
An amazing life and talent. always had such "reserved power & presence" on the screen.
I haven’t seen this. I gather he’d had a recent stroke. He was much more than an actor. So self-effacing, extremely smart, a writer, could sing. I loved this guy.
He had Emphysema & lung cancer & it may have gone to the brain, which seems to effect his speech...or that might’ve been some dementia. My dad died of the same. It’s not a good way to go. I loved his witt, poetry, acting, singing! So multitalented! I’m so glad they finally honored him before he passed. High time!
Where are the Robert Mitchums? The real men. The amazing men.
Best male movie star ever.
Robert Mitchum has been one of my favorite actors. With him and John Wayne what you see was what you get. My favorite movie of his was Thunder Road. I bet I have watched it 100 times. He made it believable. He was like any other great actor. You had to work with what they gave them. For a 16 year old kid back in the 50's Thunder Road and The Left Handed Gun were great times at the movie house. I still have these copied on DVD's. I still enjoy watching them sometimes. Thanks.
The first movie I ever saw was "White Witch Doctor," followed by "Track of the Cat". He was my Dads fav movie star. I was 5yrs at the time.But I became a big fan myself as I grew up. He should of received more awards, But I'm sure it didn't bother him, that he didn't. A real star, unlike todays overpaid , got it all but know nothing, but think their opinion is worth hearing!
The first movie of Robert Mitchums
I remember seeing was Thunder Road. I was 12 years old. And he was my fathers favorite actor,
And he became my favorite as well,
I loved your comment.
Thank you,
Angie Hicks
Yes one the best
Mitchum's tailor did a better fitting job than his optician did.
He was ill with emphysema & lung cancer...it usually goes also to the brain. He’d lost a lot of weight & that’s why his glasses look too big. He probably figured, “why bother fixing them.”
Mr FILM NOIR .. they were his best
This man was a truly underrated actor. I can't believe he never won an Oscar.
Mitchum certainly should have been nominated for his roles as Reverend Harry Powell in "The Night of the Hunter" (1955) and/or as Max Cady in "Cape Fear" (1962). I suspect that some viewers of those performances had nightmares.
@@RCGoetzke I agree! I watched "Cape Fear" again the other night on TCM-I DID NOT sleep well that night! I really loved everything he did-"Heaven Knows Mr.Allison" and "Out of the Past" are two of my favorites.
@@margeshilling7983 Mitchum was very adept at playing the sap manipulated be a femme fatale in film noir's such as "Out of the Past" and several others.
@@RCGoetzke Yes! "Home from the Hill" is also a favorite of mine. I loved the guy in anything he did. I wish he had done more movies with Deborah Kerr- they had great chemistry.
@@margeshilling7983 Although Mitchum was a "movie star" from the 1940s to the 1960s, he wasn't a classic leading man. He was more suited as an anti-hero than a romantic lead, but he had a cool aloof appeal, like Steve McQueen, that guys envied. Did you see him in "The Wonderful Country" (1959)? The final scene where he has to shoot his beloved horse who has been injured would make a stone shed a tear.
so handsome when he was young
Mitchum crapped his pants and they took back the award.
I suppose you might say that those are the awkward kind of glasses that older folks sometimes adopt when they honestly don't care whether they look fashionable or not, I guess because the larger lenses give them a wider field of vision, maybe? Not sure. But Bob, under the glasses, was a man among men, a fine actor, & was still quite handsome here near the end of his life.
He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award! High time! He looks like he’s having a lot of trouble finding his words...also like the dementia my mother had. I’m so glad they finally decided...”we’ll..,it’s about time we honor this man!”
As fine as they come in the acting world.
❤️
Very true Robert Mitchum only married once in his life and didn't cheat on her. That is especially a remarkable quality in him working in Hollywood and being faithful to his wife. You don't find that very often especially in Hollywood or in the business of entertainment.
Why?! He was one of the RARE straight male Hollywood actors. Just did it for money.
He cheated endlessly…he’d be the first to admit it.
Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Robert Mitchum, in that league
Monsieur Mitchum vous avez enchanté des millions de gens de part le monde par votre talent et les nombreux classiques ou vous avez joué.
michael caine was curiously apt to present the award to mitch.both men had identical builds as did victor mature.the odd fact came to light when michael was making 40s private eye thriller peeper a.k.a deadfall.his suit was the one worn by mitchum in farewell my lovely.michael recalled it was still warm! they were shooting the last scenes of it on the queen mary while we were waiting to shoot scenes on the same boat for our movie!mitch took it off and i put it on! they got their moneys worth out of the suit as mitch famously complained when fitted with it as he found a label in it.it had last been worn by victor mature in 1949 in kiss of death.mitch said they are so cheap theyve got me wearing vic matures secondhand suit!
😮😂 I can surely see him saying that!
I just don't think Bob ever gave a fuck - you can tell just by his improvised, laconic speech.
No, no! He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award! High time! He looks like he’s having a lot of trouble finding his words...also like the dementia my mother had. I’m so glad they finally decided...”well, it’s about time we honor this fine actor!”
I’d take a sloshed Robert Mitchum over most all of today’s actors.

Nice.
A film noire icon....and a fine man....
Never knew he played snooker.
thunder road was his baby. he made the movie.
Even on stage here he's totally baked on POT (starting from age 13). BUT boy what an actors actor. Just finished reading his bio..what a great read.
jay Munton Watch Home from the Hills! Excellent movie!
Reading that bio now. You're right: it's great.
You're an idiot....he's not high. He's 75 and chill.
Highly unlikely!

a drunkard...love the fella...he loved his life...how could he not...a promiscuous drunkard...how fucking sweeeet....literally.
He was the Real Deal, a mensch.
Obviously he was sincere and gracious, but it was just a little painful to watch.
He was a fine actor. Cape Fear, Out of The Past, The Night of The Hunter, The Sundowners, Farewell My Lovely, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, no poor actor could have pulled off those roles.
He was too old and fat to play Philip Marlowe.
A SHAME HE NEVER GOT AN OSCAR AS WELL AS GLENN FORD AND RICHARD WIDMARK !!!!!
In 1998 when Jack Nicholson won the Oscar, he said it was for...and he named a bunch of greats that died the year before, without recognition & one of these named was Bob Mitchum! 😊 I thought Nicholson had a lot of class to remember them & saying it was for them!
Was not healthy, but right here, he is boxed!
No! He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award!

He deserved it sooner!!”
Robert Mithum what an actor.John Wayne fuck of he walked through movies sorry but he did.Mitchum was great.
Mitchum walked through some of his movies too, when he didn't respect the script or the director, but when fully engaged he could (and did) steal scenes from a John Wayne that was giving his best. And that wasn't easy.
love him......wasn't that his son James that helped in to the stage....still looks image of his dad
It looked like Christopher to me.
His glasses make up half his face.
The sexiest, most handsome, alpha male to ever walk the Earth....
I think he sounds like Alan Rickman
i think robert was a 'bit' inebriated..., &, as much as i've always loved his acting, i think he would never have been the star that he was if he'd worn those glasses in the movies! LOL. i loved his singing, as well.
I highly doubt that! He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award!

Tellement triste de voir cet homme merveilleux si diminué . RIP
He couldn't sing.
he's loaded
Or high. Always. And the first to admit it. 😉
@@jennymacallan9071 or both. 😎
same outfit he wore on night of the hunter.
😅😅😅😅😅😅
a bit sloshed here, i'd say, bob...magnificent in one of his least known roles- as the husband in david lean's ryan's daughter...
".....I am truly, honestly, sincerely....drunk!....truly!"
John Wayne couldn't shine this man's shoes.
Yes, he was rubbish at shining shoes. Lucky he took up acting!
Mitchum did have more range, as an actor.
@@waynej2608 Robert mitchum could have been any of John Wayne's Roles quiet Man the searchers Fighting Seabees Rio bravo which it would have done those parts way better than John Wayne thunder road enemy below cape fear thunder road John Wayne could have never done those parts mitchum way better John Wayne overrated
@@seanfitzpatrick4730 Yes, I totally agree. Mitchum was the better actor, more versatile. This is not to suggest that Wayne was bad, as he had some impressive moments. But, as I said, his range wasn't as broad as Mitchum's.
He was better than all them
They had no patience for him
What a room of fakes
Why didn’t Michael Caine learn and practice his introduction first?
You can tell he is reading it for the first time from a teleprompter
How disrespectful
Again, Robert is above the men in the room
I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.
He's clearly bagged - but who cares, he's Robert Mitchum and there was a guy who lived life on his own terms. Back when actors of his type were "men".
@Stone Wallace Agreed. At least he seems a nice drunk, plenty that aren’t!
@@EmilyHartley25989 no he’s not! Geez! He was dying of emphysema & lung cancer, for Heaven’s sakes! 🤦🏻♀️
Notice Michael Caine deftly pull him forward on the stage with the handshake, nice move, Mitchum half lost it on that last step up. That, unfortunately, is the end stage of a life of chain smoking and drinking.
The "v" in your name should stand for "vagina".
A lovely speech. Was he drunk here, or ill?
He looks like the emphysema & lung cancer had taken its toll on him here...he’s lost a lot of weight, his glasses no longer fit & by this time, as usually happens, he may have developed brain cancer, like my dad...so..that’s perhaps why they finally decided they better give him this award!

I’m so glad they finally decided...”well, it’s about time we honor this great actor & man!”
@@cynthiaennis3107 Thank you,
He was only a one-note actor.
Why are those glasses wearing Robert Mitchum?
Those glasses should be weighting some serious pounds.
He doesn't put 2 words together that make any sense.... What was his problem....Age, drugs, alcohol...
Bob was a Cynic, he never really looked at acting as a "respectable" craft...Brando was the same way
He described himself as a journeyman which means he accepted his craft and recognised acting was a job like any other. That doesn't make him a cynic in the modern idiom.
/Yes, he was great. But I also believe that when you get down to it, he was just glad to get out of wages and be an actor because it was easy for him. And I do think here he was pissed as a pillow. He just didn't care. I wish I was more than Mitch. Praise for you, my dear friend. You didn't care but you were wonderful!
Worst acceptance speech I’ve ever heard, but what a great actor; handsome, bad boy image which we gals find appealing, sexy, smart - RIP
He had cancer here just a good giy
Robert Mitchum here tried hard to make people believe he "was" what he wasn't.
Never fooled me.He pretented not to take his job serious or admitted that he was a talented actor.But the great directors he worked with and his co stars new better.He should have won the Oscar for Night of the Hunter,Mitchum was also much scarier than De Niro in the original Cape Fear,without raising his voice or overacting
he looked terrible
Excuse me? Have you looked at your photo?
@Parodoxical Sox Lmfao😂😂😂
This guy is totally drunk.
Maybe tired....he doesn't look bad even in his weaker stage or at least he is still real Man !
