What a great actor and gentle giant. One of the few Hollywood actors who treated Marilyn with respect and warmth.

Robert Mitchum was truly one of a kind. I had the pleasure of working with him on a film in Hollywood as an actor, near the end of his career and he was a joy to behold. Casual, genuine and always telling stories of working with Marilyn. Mitch had this wonderfully unique way of including you in his life..

Mitchum's recollection here, of Monroe on the "River" set, is one of the most touching and honest glimpses I've ever heard about Marilyn. She saw a worker on the set who was becoming ill, and she refused to continue with the scene until he was cared for. All the hype and 'legend' aside.....its little things like that, that show the real person she was.

Robert was a costar & friend that actually knew her as a person. Him and Marilyn were amazing together in River of no return.

Robert Mitchum's insightful reflections on his late colleague Marilyn Monroe are very touching. He was brimful of empathy, understanding and admiration for her. It takes a sensitive, talented person to know one. Instantly he saw past the 'Dumb Blonde', starlet stereotype, to the heart and soul of the human being within. A lovely man, and like Marilyn, a true star. What a stark contrast this interview is, to the mean and snarky comments Sir Lawrence Olivier made on camera about Monroe, dismissing her as 'a model, not an actress'. He never got over the fact Marilyn Monroe was recognised as a global icon after her death - a rare status he would never achieve in his lifetime or beyond it, despite his lofty reputation as an actor, (mostly in Britain, where he was knighted for his work). I suspect he was also much-miffed that the world's hottest blonde was totally immune to his charms when they made 'The Prince and the Showgirl' together! The whole experience of working with Monroe, which Olivier had such high hopes of both professionally and personally, was a crushing disappointment to him, bordering on humiliation. She possessed a powerful star quality - the camera loved her. Inevitably, she acted him off the screen and stole every scene, reducing Olivier to supporting cast in a British-made movie he had nurtured like a baby for the glittering prizes he mistakenly assumed it would bring him. Even 20 years later, his anger at Marilyn was obvious - and frankly unsettling - during a TV interview which can be found on KZbin. The way he coldly dismissed her as though she were just another forgettable blonde sex symbol, was actually pretty venomous. The polar opposite of the respectful way Robert Mitchum remembered her here. Olivier may have been named the finest actor of his generation, but he was certainly no gentleman. I don't believe he was a patch on the great Robert Mitchum - as an actor or as a human being.

Robert Mitchum was a dynamic person. In the 80's I was a Stand-In for a minor on the show and had the honor of spending many hours talking to him. he never stayed in his trailer and always hung out with everybody. He was just so gracious. At one point after 1 month on the show, I asked him for an autograph for my mom his generation and he did! asking for my script and wrote on it my mom's name and said, you are beautifully represented. I will never forget that as long as I live. he and Sammy Davis Jr. the two I will always say didn't have a mean bone in their bodies.

I have seen all of Marlyns movies, and now i know why i always had a special place in my heart for river of no return, because she was with Robert Mitchum, he really saw her NOT Marilyn but norma jean. Also i think it was one of her best acting. She had a strong male manly man and also an adorable good child actor. Put that all together and it really works. Yes she is sexy in this movie but not like all the other ones where she had all the tight tight dresses, i loved her in blue jeans in this movie she was not playing the sex goddess. If you have not seen this movie i urgh you too. FYI her just singing to a guiatar to that little boy is better than any of the other over the top big musical numbers she has ever done. BOY they 3 actors broke the mold .

In Heaven Knows Mr Allison, Robert Mitchum's portrayal of the quintessential US Marine, who is trying to be a Gentleman, since he is stuck on an island with a Nun during the Japanese Invasion, is amazing. I Especially loved the scene, where he finishes an entire bottle of Sake, and speaks his heart out to Sister Angela (Deborah Kerr) that he loves her and would like to marry her, He questions her faith as to what is the whole point of her being a Nun, and he being a Marine, if those two are the only people living on that island, Anyway. Brilliant is the word. He has drunk too much, yet, he never crosses the line with Sister Angela. He asks her very innocently, if she wants to be a Nun, then why isn’t she Old and Ugly, why does she have such Beautiful Blue Eyes and such a sweet smile and Freckles… Marvelous Performance

So sad. I think he had a very keen insight into MMs psyche. "To be finally and truly adopted". She had such a hard lonely life. I can hardly imagine anyone less suited for a career in the movies. To have a camera, director, crew all watching and judging you and then the whole world on top of that. Having to be so exposed as a means of making a living. Knowing your own mother is in an asylum for the insane, no father figure, no role model for how to live and no sense of security in herself. How she made it for as long as she did is the miracle. She was so determined and driven to succeed it amazes me. I wish she could have lived a full life and gotten to an age and place where she felt worthwhile and content if not happy. I hope she can see and know how much people felt and still feel for her. RM seems like a kind intelligent soul, a total babe in his hay day ;)

He loves Marilyn Monroe because she “had the guts of a lion.” Mitchum found out about Monroe’s courage while on the set of River of No Return, a 1954 Preminger film. Monroe and he were about to go down some white water on a raft. When they got to the place where the shoot was to take place, the water was raging, and even the Mad Prussian was against sending Mitchum out. But Mitchum and Monroe thought they could make it. Halfway down the river, as they headed toward the rapids, the security line broke, and they were headed for some rocks. Mitchum signaled for the rescue boat-which started toward them. But Monroe wouldn’t escape unless Mitchum got off at the same time. “She was worried about me,” Mitchum says now. “She kept saying, ‘You’re sick, you shouldn’t even be out here with the flu. I don’t get off until you do.’ I told her, ‘Look, this could be a matter of life and death. In another three minutes, we’re going to be over those rapids and cut into forty pieces.’ But she still wouldn’t leave.”

I think the most important thing in a person's life is virtue and you only get that from Jesus Christ and toucning his garment. He would have grounded her and kept her more content and she could have maintained safer priorities. She should have never aspired or nurtured unrealistic goals with the Kennedy's. Joe DiMaggio tried to ground her but she was seduced by the allures and people of her craft. She should have realized she was NEVER going to be FlOTUS. She should have been content to be Joe's wife which would have been her REAL world. Jesus is the only permanent reality. Everything else is fleeting, not permanent like withered grass.

I never thought much about Robert Mitchum until now, insightful and sweet in his description of poor Marilyn Monroe. A pity he could not be the one to help her out, with so many jackals around her a true friend is a rare thing.

I think the thing about Marilyn was that she was already acting a character and that character was Marilyn. So Norma Jeane was acting as Marilyn acting as another character, no wonder the poor woman was confused a lot of the time!

She was confused most of the time because she abused narcotics and she drank heavily.

you can always tell something of the character of an actor not by what they say about themselves or their roles but by what they say about other actors...Mitchum and Borgnine come to mind.

I didn’t know much about MM other than the pretty outer cover. Mitchum’s comments about MM can serve as a reminder to us that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. People in the public eye can sometimes have a lot going on emotionally and in their lives.

Tony Curtis's interview about Marilyn Monroe appears he had more bitterness and jealousy toward her than Jack Lemmon and Robert Mitchum did.

Robert Mitchum, one of my favourites the way he talks about Marilyn Munroe with her certain traits. It reminds me of the similarities with Diana Princess of Wales. Of course, they eventually played a certain game. They were vulnerable, sensitive, but perhaps they crossed the wrong people and they were both taken out, whether they connect with the Kennedys or Diana with the royal family and the English establishment?🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

i was very lucky on the film Matilda a joke Mitchem did it for his friend Al Ruddy the producer. The fight scenes were shot in Reno, Nevada. One day when we broke for lunch Mitch walked with me over to a Hofbrau and he and i spent a little more than an hour having lunch. Now i was a back ground actor or Extra if you will and we talked about all sorts of subjects. That was Bob Eating with me instead of going with the rest of the other principle actors...which he could have done! He was just as down to earth as Jason Robards was with me on the small film he made with Kathy Ross for director Tom Gries. That film was shot in San Francisco.

Thanks for that. My dad was an extra in a movie with Audie Murphy. Dad played in parts right next to Murphy. But at the dinner table dad didn't have much good things to say about him. Murphy would go off on his own and not associate. Probably because of PTSD. But I really enjoyed your story with Robert.
