MITCHUM,was ahead of his time as a screen actor ,I just read Baby I Dont Care.how he lived to 80 is remarkable ,drinking,cannabis,womanising and music,played a big part in his very full life. As a fan of film noir ,Out of the Past aka Build My Gallows High is one of his best movies, but if you watch his very early films he seems so natural compared to his co stars. His wife Dorothy somehow remained devoted to him.
And DeNiro remaking Cape Fear was a crime against cinema and an insult to Mitchum and Gregory Peck who both did a superlative job of acting in that great film.
Why do they re-make films that are classics? What is the point?
Mitchum was one of the greatest screen actors ever. Totally believable in everything but never more so than in Cape Fear which may have been his best role. He NEVER seemed to be acting. Talk about a natural. Mitchum was to acting what Dean Martin was to singing. Total cool.
the Killers was at the top of a long list of Mitchum favorties along with Out of the Past He was one of a kind won't ever be another that reefer bust he called the incarceration at the work farm as "like Palm Springs without the riff raff!" and that photo of him in the LA county jail leaning on a mop of that he said "best vacation in years" can't beat those comments with a fuckin' stick!
I heard that he turned down the offer to do the "Defiant Ones" with Sidney Poitier because he didn't want to work with a black actor. I guess I wont be watching any of his movies from now on.
I heard that he turned down the offer to do the "Defiant Ones" with Sidney Poitier because he didn't want to work with a black actor. I guess I wont be watching any of his films from now on. Never really thought much of him anyway.
@xgs724 it wasn"t because he didnt want to work with a black actor he argued that it would never have happened black and white would never have been chained together in the segregated south and i guess he would have known as he had been on a chain gang himself. the story got distorted over the years to mitchum not wanting to work with a black actor in fact it was because the sceneplay was inaccurate[
@mothersfreakout , Russell Crowe, yes...but also Robert De Niro, Mel Gibson and Al Pacino. but also? heck...Robert De Niro is the best of all timmmmmmeeeee.
just want to thank you for this wonderful video of Robert Mitcham, he makes the hair stand up on my arms just to see him, what a voice, many a man could learn from him. thanks also for great music
YUMMY! I wish someone in movies TODAY could project this kind of masculine power. Mitchum had a big, romantic yet dangerous quality and he was one of the great heavies and anti-heroes-- see Night of the Hunter, Cape Fear and any of the noirs he made. I think he's unappreciated overall.
" time proof, weather proof." a quote from out of the past , a mitchum classic, sums up his great quality as an actor. like Bogart's ironic insolence, he trancends any era.
Remembering Robert Mitchum on the 12th anniversary of his death. An underrated leading man in my opinion. Loved his cool laid-back style and his unassuming modesty in 'real life'. He was a great screen villain - one of the best of the film noir era.
i always thought the actors/actress's from the late 40s /50s were the best, robert is my fave actor from days gone by, and susan hayward my fave female actress....... now its richard dreyfuss and really dont have a fav in female,
he was just superb.i loved bob mitchum.he easily rates with any so called best acyor of any era...that means brando,deniro,pacino i dont care he was incredible.a good bloke too.
he was though and sexy- last week i saw a film he played a doc with frank sinatra but i dont know the name of the film..i just can recommend to watch this film he is first -class!! :) greetings from germany and keitel10 you did a very good job i could watch this video for hours-long...:)bye bye
gt30002: The film with Mitchum and Sinatra was "not as a stranger". If you wanna know what made the guy great, read some of the stories about the production of that film. It had Lee Marvin, Sinatra, Mitchum and Broderick Crawford. In Mitchum's own words "Not so much a cast as a brewery".
heres one gor you...my grandfathers legs can be seen in that movie. from what the family tells me, he meet Robert Mitchum. i think its the seen where theres a man climbing up the ladder, those legs are my grandfathers.
Robert Mitchum is awesome. My favorite films of his are Cape Fear, Night Of The Hunter, and Winds Of War. Anyone else share their opions ,(sorry if misspelled),? Open Replys right here
Out of the Past, Angel Face, The Sundowners, Home From The Hill, G.I. Joe, Heaven Knows Mister Allison, The Enemy Below, Thunder Road, The Racket, Bandido, Holiday Affair, Crossfire, His Kind of Woman, River of No Return and Macao are a representative sampling of his best early work upon which his reputation is based. Mitchum was always cool because he was a maverick with no illusions about the business.
I agree! It's interesting to compare Mitchum's performance in that part with Dean Martin's in Rio Bravo. They're both terrific in their own way. Apparently when they made Five Card Stud they didn't hang out together at all. More proof that Dino didn't party and liked to watch old westerns instead.
I just started seeing his movies, and i cant stope anymore! Very good selection of pictures, and thats a good song also..mad about you! He takes my breath away! Why i wasnt a movie star in the 40 or 50??? Shit!
MItcum was the coolest of the cool. Mitchum also really didn't give a fukk. He once said 'All the rumors you've heard about me are true, in fact, you can make up some.'
Please do not compare Robert Mitchum to Charles Bronson. Robert Mitchum fans would be so insulted. You intention is good, but Mitchum was in a higher league than Bronson.
Yeah, nowdays men walk around with bags on their shoulders (just like women), shave their arms, legs and asses, dancing like pussies in night clubs and talk like sluts. The 21st century really sucks. And I'm 21.
Indeed the classic tough guy. Whenever I am flooded with Oprah and the like in the media and at work, etc. and the subtle beginning of loss of male identity that follows, I think of men like Robert Mitchum and everthing is right again.
If you want another good cry, check out Revolving Brothers tribute to Gregory Peck. I'm more of a Mitchum fan but Pecks tribute is just as outstanding with great music to go with the picures.
Yeah and his grandson has got that same face and has those same sleepy eyes. Hopefully he hits a breakout role soon and everyone can see his handsome face as well
Wonderful tribute to the most charismatic man ever. Robert Mitchum is a legend, he was a very special actor. I don't know any other actor who could play a role with so much power as Mr. Mitchum. Not William Holden, not Bogart, not De Niro. great video
What an amazing actor! Although often type-casted as merely a "tough guy," his ability is undeniable. Even in death, he was upstaged by James Stewart who died the following day. R.I.P. Robert Mitchum. Even ten years later, you are still missed.

My point is so few have it. This 'silence of the lambs' guy in my opinion is such a poor man's Burton its unbelievable.
Ah, De Niro had it too, which is just as well, since he covered Mitchum's role in one such movie I believe...
But so few had this aura. Here's to the aura!
