Robert Mitchum - Rotten Tomatoes

He played a lot of dark as well as some very light characters.

I really enjoyed this one-- Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison - Rotten Tomatoes

Off the top of my head cannot think of any but did like him as an actor

Cape Fear 1961, just watched it last night.

[Boomer]

Cape Fear scared the hellouta me.

Tal, as soon as I saw the title of your post, I had a flashback……..


……..1960-something

……..at the drive-in………

………in his dad’s Buick…….

…….CAPE FEAR!

…….Mitchum creeping around in the night…….

…….I was terrified, petrified…….

…….That shoulda taught me to never watch the movie at the drive-in.

Boomer

PS: Never wanted to see the re-make

That is not just my favorite Mitchum movie, but one of my favorites all time.

Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison.

Although, The Night of the Hunter will give you the willies.

Heaven knows was excellent also liked him as a cowboy

My favorite is the classic war movie "The Enemy Below" where is the Captain of a US Destroyer Escort in WWII hunting a German sub.

El Dorado was a favorite even if it was not his best film performance. He was a great actor and caught your attention when he was on the screen. Another example of breaking the mold.

That was a very good one.

[Chi-Town]

Cape Fear (1962) Even though Di Niro's 1991 Max Cady was excellent Mitchum's broke the mold.

I was never a big fan of his movies, but I did get to work with him and to his fans, he was really a nice and fun person.

i agree. This movie actually is sort a prequel to the cuban missile crisis where a russian submarine captain wanted to launch a nuclear torpedo at the usn destroyers hounding the sub. WW3 was a lot closer than we knew at the time
anyone liking this movie should watch the bedford incident with richard widmark and sidney potier. A cold war classic.

Not a movie but a 1980s miniseries "The Winds of War" is my favorite.

Thunder Road was his best. I think Cape Fear was next and then many of his war movies.
