SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Robert Mitchum: The Enemy Below
DESCRIPTION:THE ENEMY BELOW (1957) is a war adventure film \, which tells the story of the battle between an American destroyer escort and a German U-boat during World War II. Produced and directed by acclaimed actor\, Dick Powell\, the movie stars Robert Mitchum and Curt Jürgens as the American and German commanding officers\, engaged in a prolonged and deadly battle of wits that tests both men and their crews. Each man grows to respect his opponent.The film was based on the 1956 novel by Denys Rayner\, a British naval officer involved in anti-submarine warfare throughout the Battle of the Atlantic. \nThe film’s destroyer escort USS Haynes (DE-181) was represented by the USS Whitehurst\, filmed in the Pacific Ocean near Oahu\, Hawaii. Many of Whitehurst’s crewmen acted in the film; the phone talkers\, the gun and depth charge crews\,  and all of the men seen abandoning ship were real Whitehurst crewmen. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study. He learned how little the camera needed to be shown\, and no one has matched his weary swagger. Unlike many\, Mitchum realized that stillness and the ability to listen were the cornerstones of movie acting. He created his own sense of space and time\, and offered the movie equivalent of a kind of jazz cool\, a seamless fusion of thought and action. \nAlthough underrated during his lifetime\, Mitchum is now recognized as a master of the film art of stillness and underplaying. He appears on the American Film Institute’s list of the top 25 greatest male stars of classic American cinema.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Robert Mitchum: Heaven Knows\, Mr. Allison
DESCRIPTION:HEAVEN KNOWS\, MR. ALLISON (1957) stars Robert Mitchum as an uneducated\, self-reliant American marine who finds himself marooned on a Japanese-occupied island during World War II\, along with a well-mannered\, deeply religious Irish nun (Deborah Kerr) – with whom he forms a deep emotional bond that gradually blossoms into love. The palpable chemistry between Mitchum and Kerr\, the marvelous cinematography\, and Oscar-nominated screenplay by director John Huston and John Lee Mahin come together in a captivating survival saga that Mitchum would cite as his own personal favorite among his films.  He also would speak of Kerr ever after as his all-time favorite actress. \nDeborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum were indeed a magical team.  The actress likened their work together to a perfect doubles pair at tennis.  Getting to know him in those first days on location on the island of Tobago\, Kerr recalled finding herself “listening to an extremely sensitive\, poetic\, extraordinarily interesting man…a perceptive\, amusing person with a great gift for telling a story\, and possessed of a completely unexpected vast fund of knowledge…Bob was at all times patient\, concerned\, and completely professional.” \nThe film was adapted by John Huston and John Lee Mahin from the 1952 novel by Charles Shaw. It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Deborah Kerr) and Best Writing\, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Robert Mitchum: El Dorado
DESCRIPTION:EL DORADO is a 1966 comedy Western film produced and directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. The film is about an aging gunfighter who comes to the aid of an old friend\, now a drunken sheriff\, struggling to defend a rancher and his family in a range war.  The film also stars James Caan as Wayne’s exasperating young sidekick who likes to quote appropriate stanzas from the Edgar Allan Poe poem\, “El Dorado” at various points throughout the film.  Although the plot is very similar to a previous Hawks’ film\, “Rio Bravo\,” the director told Mitchum that the film was not about the plot; it was all about character development. \nRoger Ebert awarded the film three and a half stars\, stating: “El Dorado is a tightly directed\, humorous\, altogether successful Western\, turned out almost effortlessly\, it would seem\, by three old pros: John Wayne\, Robert Mitchum and director Howard Hawks.”  The film was the only screen pairing between Wayne and Mitchum; though they both appear in “The Longest Day\,” they share no scenes in that film. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Robert Mitchum: The Big Sleep
DESCRIPTION:THE BIG SLEEP is a 1978 re-imagining of the Raymond Chandler classic.  Mitchum plays an older Philip Marlowe\, now based in London\, who  investigates a seemingly routine case of blackmail\, but in the process uncovers a more sinister plot which spirals into murder and madness.  (This is Mitchum’s second film portrayal of Philip Marlowe\, having played the world-weary detective in 1975’s neo-noir “Farewell My Lovely.”)  The film also stars Sarah Miles\, Candy Clark\, Joan Collins\, and Oliver Reed\, with a special appearance by  James Stewart. \nThe film contains material more explicit than what could only be hinted at in the 1946 version with Bogart and Bacall\, and includes much more original dialogue from the Chandler book.  Common to both versions is the notoriously complicated plot. \nPhilip Marlowe (Robert Mitchum) is asked by the elderly General Sternwood (James Stewart) to investigate an attempt at blackmail on one of his daughters. He soon finds that the attempt is half-hearted at best\, and seems to be more connected with the disappearance of the other daughter’s husband\, Rusty Regan (David Savile). Rusty’s wife seems unconcerned with his disappearance\, further complicating the mystery. Only General Sternwood seems concerned as mobsters and hired killers continue to appear in the path of the investigation. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study.

Unlike many\, Mitchum realized that stillness and the ability to listen were the cornerstones of movie acting.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series | Robert Mitchum: CANCELLED  The Sundowners
DESCRIPTION:THE SUNDOWNERS (1960) charts the nomadic adventures of a family of Australian sheep drovers. Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr play a loving but imperfect married couple\, Paddy and Ida Carmody\, who disagree on their basic lifestyle. Weary of cooking over campfires\, Ida desperately wants a roof over her head. Paddy would prefer never to sleep in the same place twice. \nMitchum once again proves his versatility by playing against type:  a good but willfully humble man determined to stay as he is.  Kerr matches his determination point for point\, and the two\, re-teamed for their second film together\, deliver another remarkable complementary performance.  The film also stars Glynis Johns\, Dina Merrill\, and Peter Ustinov. \nSundowner is the Australian word for someone whose home is where the sun goes down.  For this epic tribute to the virtues of home and family\, based on Jon Cleary’s novel “Back of Beyond\,” director Fred Zinnemann took cast and crew halfway round the world to make one of the first Hollywood films shot on location in Australia. \nFor leading lady\, Zinnemann’s first choice was Deborah Kerr\, who had shot to stardom when he cast her against type as an earthy adulteress in “From Here to Eternity” (1953). He originally wanted William Holden or Gary Cooper to play her husband\,  but neither was available. \nRobert Mitchum got the role instead\, turning in one of his best performances. Zinnemann quickly realized that the star’s lackadaisical attitude was merely a mask for his dedication to acting. Particularly impressive was Mitchum’s ability to capture the Australian accent. But he did have a problem with shearing sheep. The screen tough guy was so worried about hurting the sheep he needed a few beers before he could do the scene. \nRobert Mitchum was an American leading man of enormous ability\, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.  A master of accents and seemingly unconcerned about his star image\, he played in both forgettable and unforgettable films with unswerving nonchalance\, leading many to overlook the prodigious talent he could bring to a project that he found compelling. \nDirector Howard Hawks remained unconvinced about Mitchum’s self-proclaimed indifference towards acting\, and confronted him on the set of “El Dorado”\, telling him\, “You pretend not to care\, but you really work very hard.” Mitchum answered\, “Don’t tell anybody.” \nActually\, his craft and durability were achieved only through a lot of hard\, private study. He learned how little the camera needed to be shown\, and no one has matched his weary swagger. Unlike many\, Mitchum realized that stillness and the ability to listen were the cornerstones of movie acting. He created his own sense of space and time\, and offered the movie equivalent of a kind of jazz cool\, a seamless fusion of thought and action. \nAlthough underrated during his lifetime\, Mitchum is now recognized as a master of the film art of stillness and underplaying. He appears on the American Film Institute’s list of the top 25 greatest male stars of classic American cinema.
