ROBERT MITCHUM My father, his pony & me! with Chris Mitchum A WORD ON WESTERNS

After working his way up in a series of Hopalong Cassidy B westerns, the perennially underrated actor Robert Mitchum seemed to have become an instant star. Who noticed how good he really was? What was it like growing up the son of a superstar? Did Mitch ever offer any advise to his sons? Find out the answers to those questions and more in this exclusive look back with son, actor Chris Mitchum, on A WORD ON WESTERNS, recorded at The Autry Museum May 16, 2017.

Robert Mitchum was one of my all time favorite actors. The Phillip Marlowe detective series was my favorite movie. Mr. Mitchum could also sing .

[@williambilyeu9801]

I thought Bogart was in a better version of "The Big Sleep," but the Robert Mitchum version of "Farewell, My Lovely" was an improvement of the earlier version titled "Murder, My Sweet." Were there other versions of Philip Marlowe with Robert Mitchum? I only know those two, but Mitchum was in several films noirs.

El Dorado is my favorite western. Heaven Knows Mr Allison was a great movie. Shows how good a movie can be with basically only 2 actors. Mitchum has been my favorite actor since I was a kid.

This was really a fun interview 😉 Thanks! I fully enjoy Robert Mitchum films.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

My mother and my oldest sister had such a crush on Robert Mitchum. My first introduction to him was "Thunder Road"! I can't think of any time I was disappointed in any of his movies. No one can blame nepotism for Chris's career either because he has a lot of his father in him but I am sure he might not have had his initial opportunity without a of dad's help.

[@peterrabbit3048]

Chris Mitchum was an excellent actor. He added a lot of dimension and sincerity to every movie he was in. Thank you Rob Word for your great interview videos.

[@tomsampson8084]

Chris Mitchum was, at best, an extra. His father and John Wayne gave him a career. I also would like to say that I am tired of people who acted in some western movies pretending to be "cowboys" in their later years. This show is lame. Word is not even from the west. He is just a producer from Florida who found a way to make money pretending to be a westerner.

[@bluenetmarketing]

@@tomsampson8084 Not sure why you are so negative. What you say doesn't make any sense. Acting is acting, it isn't a documentary using real people. Besides, people change careers all the time. And there's nothing wrong with finding a way to make money. We all do it. Have you done any acting or movie making? You might like it and be good at it if you try.

[@carlericpickett597]

One of my favorites is "Home from the hill". I never knew any of them were blackballed in the 60s. That's a shame. A lot of western star's sons could have gotten together to do some great western movies and TV series of westerns.

[@dukecraig2402]

There's a very interesting interview with Ronald Reagan at his presidential library that in it he talks about John Wayne making the movie The Green Berets and how certain factions in Hollywood tried to purposely torpedo it, Reagan was Governor of California at the time and was told tickets weren't available for the movies opening but in reality they were trying to make the movie look bad by having empty seats on opening night, try looking up Ronald Reagan/John Wayne on youtube and I'll bet you can find it, it's pretty interesting what he said happened and especially John Waynes reaction when he caught on to what was happening.

[@chainamarie03]

That's one of my top 3 films. I never knew any were blackballed.

[@simonpalling3215]

Must've been an amazing way of life having a superstar actor for a father. I always felt that Robert Mitchum was probably a nice person in real life. Sounds like he mostly was.

River of No Return is one of my top Mitchum films. Mitchum, Monroe, beautiful locations, and the haunting title song by Ernie Ford

I think Tennessee Ernie did an album with the song, but he didn't record it for the Movie.Even my kids recognized the singer as Robert M. They loved that !.

Great interview Rob! I could listen to Chris Mitchum all day -- what a life he's led so far. Must be difficult growing up and trying to follow in a superstar's footsteps but he seems to have done it his way. Thanks for allowing us to go back to a more genteel time -- guys like Mitchum, Duke, Bond, Cooper, Gable probably wouldn't recognize or tolerate today's filmmakers.

[@orchardist6529]

“Out of the Past”-known also as “Hang My Gallows High”. Amazing, incredible performances way beyond their years. David Lean wanted to work with Mitchum and misplaced him in “Ryan’s Daughter.” His stature was too powerful for the part. The intimidation Mitchum brings to “Cape Fear” (1962) and the final scenes show how wonderful an actor he was. His great body of work will guarantee his iconic place in movies for all time. Thank you for this very enjoyable posting,

[@pjk9056]

Glad they mentioned “Ryan’s Daughter” and “The Sundowners”. I don’t know if you can say Mitchum was underrated. However, he was a master at dialects, a great talent for an actor and one he didn’t get to use that often.
