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.
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.
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!
While growing up I was totally blown away by Mr. Mitchum's films, he was my idea of what a real man should be (hubris of the young). Like "Jack Nicholson" I could listen to Mitchum's stories all day long. Rest in peace Robert, you truly made an impression while you were here!😢
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@MarkHarrison733 Not sure what exactly you’re referring to but I wouldn’t equate making a crude joke is the same thing as denying the Holocaust but ok.
@@matthewnikitas8905 He was not joking. Mitchum went on to make several more anti-Semitic remarks in the interview. He had denied the Holocaust while filming "Anzio" to its director.
I love Robert Mitchum!!! His movies are terrific!! Rest in peace, handsome!!!
He'd had plastic surgery.
@@MarkHarrison733 Not on his neck, that's for sure.
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.
Mitchum was one of the greatests.
Pure class. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
A true legend and a real man. a natural actor and incredibly handsome.
Not incredibly handsome, just ruggedly handsome.
I wanna go back to this America, I was 3 and it was a great place to grow up still...I miss you America🇺🇸....please come back
me too
i could listen to mitchum tell stories all day. seriously, this guy should narrate every movie that needs a narrator
One of the coolest guys ever always rocking the shades !
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.
Still cool and still handsome...I sure do miss him...Great actor...the best of the best.
Mitchum was a great interview. He was always funny and interesting.
I wish Robert had his own radio show I could listen to him talk all day long loved his voice.
i don't know why, i just love this guy . . . i find him so comedic & engaging.
Fantastic actor one of my personal favorites
A naturally talented actor. Never given enough credit IMO.
Such an iconic commanding voice. Robert Mitchum...the world misses you ⛅️

The One and ONLY - Robert Mitchum!
real masculine dude ... genuine masculine energy .. I don't see this with today's male celebrities .. what a contrast
@d jones So true and he doesn’t have to fake it or force it either.
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!
So true! I get the vibe of using power tools and never asking strangers for directions!
Coolest man ever!

Mr. Mitchum, epitome of cool.
Legend
Mr Cool
And...a very fine Actor.
Superstar
He was a one-note actor, and a Holocaust denier.
Elvis before the Army and Robert Mitchum were the coolest cats ever nobody comes close
Dean Martin
Thanks for posting my favorite will always be thunder road
Jack Nicholson clearly took notes on Mitch.
Robert mitchum outcools mr. cool Jack nicholson
He might’ve took notes but there will only be one Robert Mitchum
i love Robert mitchum.
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.
David Letterman just talks right over all his punchlines
In his Prime he was the most Handsome
Toughest guy in Hollywood.
Ever!!
Robert Mitchum is one of my idols I own 15 of his movies on DVD him and the Elvis in the fifties my favorites
Hands down
@@seanfitzpatrick4730 same here , all his films on VCR or dvd my all time favourite too.
Lee Marvin??!
MITCH WAS ONE IN A MILLION
one of the best
this is great I never saw this before...look forward to more Robert , ..please,..
Cool, cool, cool!
I’ve been there it’s mentally horrific! I feel for Mr Mitchum ! Nothing worse than not being able to sleep !
Very fortunate Davo ...to have Bob on the show ...Hollywood royalty 👑 #legend
Standing ovation for this guy ...c'mon ...get up folks 🐄🦝🦧🐕🐮🐏🐖🐀🦇🦦🦥🐢🦚🦩🐦
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 a man. Not many of them today not like him
He beat women.
@@MarkHarrison733What proof do you have of this?
@@matthewnikitas8905 He had to pay compensation in 1983.
@@MarkHarrison733 To who exactly
@@matthewnikitas8905 A female photographer he attacked.
When you look up the definition of Swagger, It says Robert Mitchum.
He was impeccable in The Friends of Eddie Coyle and The Big Sleep.
I also thought I was going to see the entire film. What a bummer. Guess I’ll have to keep looking
Gifted actor, love his work

Mitchum used to hang with Lord Buckley back in the day.
The most dangerous man in Hollywood
yeah. i would have given him a wide berth after what i read about him.
Class act. Every time.
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.
Mr Cool! they don’t make many actors like him anymore
Looked like my dad , handsome.
Any luck on Larry King interviewing Mitchum?
Why no intro music?
Letterman did a great job as interviewer that night.

Smart, funny, and strong as hell. My favorite actor of all time (JUST beating out Mr. Newman).
from two boot's of a Marine " thank you
"I need a lot of tender loving care" women are like :raises hand: lol
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
He loved the weed that's why he's so laid back
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?

Interesting about Lex Barker story.
good movie he made was thunder road.His son bought the 50 ford movie car.
Super actor dont come any better

Bob loved cannabis, or "gage" as he and Louis Armstrong called it.
Gordon M. He was friends with Louis Armstrong??
SO SEXY ROBERT MITCHAM ,YA HOO
It's a shame he had plastic surgery. He had denied the Holocaust in an interview in 1983.
No he did not, he jokingly responded to the question of whether it happened “So the Jews say” it was clearly a joke as was the question itself
@@matthewnikitas8905 He was well known for making anti-Semitic remarks, as Peter Falk and George Segal confirmed.
@@MarkHarrison733 Not sure what exactly you’re referring to but I wouldn’t equate making a crude joke is the same thing as denying the Holocaust but ok.

@@MarkHarrison733 I think I’m going to take the hard evidence over hearsay from a random person on the internet on the matter thank you very much
"Of course on another network" 😅
oct 10 1985?
A younger Mitchum wouldn't have gone on this show but if he did he would have slapped Letterman back to 1947.
Yes IT is Yep
"Worse is better"
I dont know what it was.....
how could he sleep if his doing weed and coke all the time .
What you talk about Marilyn Monroe on 20th century ? Weird ❤❤❤😮😮😮 eight year old little kids . Finding Joseph also may be nearly Andriana die 😢😢😢
