Robert Mitchum's Last Interview Part 1 of 5

Robert Mitchum's Last Interview 1 of 5. Videographed by Luke Sacher, interviewed by Carole Langer, at his home in Santa Barbara, June 1996. Mitch refused to ask the gardeners to stop working, and we only uploaded his mic channel to KZbin- not ours. Thanks for tuning in!

[@billbrimmer1739]

He was an older man, but he still had the chops. Listen to his voice and watch the eyes. He was a unique individual.

[@ryanhodges7101]

For certain. I would have liked to have had the chance to meet him. He was the epitome of cool also.

[@tomarmstrong3297]

@@ryanhodges7101 In early 50s my dad was staying at a hotel Mitchum’s mother in law owned. One day in the lobby Mitchum introduced himself “Hi, you must be Tom, I’m Bob, the son in law”. After a drink or 2 my dad said “Bob, you look kind of familiar “. Dad said was as nice a guy as you could meet.

[@ryanhodges7101]

Tom, that’s awesome. Bob really seemed like a regular guy. I bet him and your dad had a cool conversation. Take care man.

[@tomarmstrong3297]

@@ryanhodges7101 Thanks, Ryan! Yes,, my dad was a WW 2 vet, and Irishman, so I bet was a cool conversation. I love that Mitchum quote, while he was living in Palm Springs, after he was released from jail for a marijuana rap, when asked about prison life “Was kind of like Pail Springs, but with a better class of people.” :)

Robert Mitchum and Lee Marvin. Best voices of their generation of actors, bar none.

Oh, THAT voice! Robert Mitchum was the only man who called me "Doll" to my face AND I LIKED it!!!

[@soapbxprod]

Dear Susie- zoiks, I never saw your comment until today... that's a great story. How could you not love Mitch calling you "Doll"? When I met him that day, I said, "It's an honor to meet you." He replied, "Oh I bet you say that to all the girls..." Best wishes, Luke

[@lesliebyrd6347]

I concur with PoppaBlue59, I watched Night Of The Hunter when I was younger, I purchased it on dvd when I became an adult. Still love it, as I have Robert Mitchem. Absolutely was a great man and actor.

[@djw457]

What a great face, what a great voice, it's fascinating watching him listening to the fairly long and round about questions.

[@soapbxprod]

Thanks for tuning in and commenting- he was always a hard person to interview- he only consented as a favor to Janet...

[@AWonderingWarrior]

Even when he's old, Mitchum is ice cool.

[@Brace67]

So unfortunate that at this his final interview, the questions being asked him cannot be heard. He is definitely one of my very favorite.

[@boblackey1]

Robert Mitchum also had a huge country hit record in 1958 off of Thunder Road. I remember it being on the country music radio station which my mother liked about every hour when it was Number ONE! And Mitchum sings very well on it. I just listened to it here on KZbin to refresh my memory. Type "Thunder Road Robert Mitchum" to here him sing.

[@shirleydomino169]

This brings back fond memories from my childhood. My Dad worked part time as a Bartender in Maryland during the early 60"s and would bring Robert Mitchum to our home on several occasions. He lived at that time on Belmont Farm in Maryland. He was a Super nice person. Also, my daughter's Godmother's Aunt, Dorothy Spence married Robert Mitchum.

[@droolet]

Robert says "all the other studios had the lamps ... we just lit the scenes with cigarettes " ( film Noir)...priceless comments. as always.

[@andygreen1a]

Thank you so much for posting these interview with the Hollywood Greats. These interviews are very inciteful. RobertMitchum was such a genuine down to earth man. The stars from his era seem far mor genuine han those today. Perhaps that is why they remained on top for decades. Such a fantastic actor. He was fantastic in the late 80's in the epic series War and Remembrance. Still top of his game all those decades on. A true star and a Gentleman. Thank you for sharing these interview with him

[@TyranyFighterPatriot]

Here after watching Eldorado. The elegance in his figure character is always the most radiant over any other actor. At least for me. He just stands out as such a positively bright and wise individual. Hope he's resting in peace.

LOVE Mitchum, carried such a presence on screen. Blew my mind in Cape Fear couldn't take my eyes off him, not many people could hold their own never mind dominate a scene with Gregory Peck like he did in Cape Fear.

[@MTknitter22]

Indeed @Joe Spitler, really Mitchum was not intimidated by Peck at all. A super secure man! Mitchum was absolutely terrifying in that movie - he dominated every scene.

Robert Mitchum was so laid back as if he was always wearing his slippers.

[@soapbxprod]

Hello- Thanks for watching and your kind comment- as always! When we first arrived to shoot his interview, I walked up to him and offered my hand to shake, and said, "It's an honor to meet you." He replied, "Oh, I bet you say that to all the girls." AHAHAHA! The audio quality improves around halfway into Part 3 or so after the gardeners stop working- Mitch refused to ask them to hold up until we were done... "That's their job, dear." he talks about Marilyn and working with her husband Jim Dougherty at Lockheed during the war, and wanting to punch Otto Preminger in the face when they were making "River of No Return"... :)

[@MrFusho]

Man that guy's got some serious pipes. He could blow out my speakers if if he said "boom".

[@soapbxprod]

Thanks for watching! The audio improves after the gardeners stop working- Mitch refused to ask them to stop! :) Also, we're sorry for the low audio level... we were worried about digital overmodulation (the awful "crunch")... and we only uploaded Mitch's Sennheiser ME-80 boom mike, and not Carole's mike. We'll try to re-upload the interview soon, with the levels boosted a bit... it's a bit of a crap shoot with KZbin- the levels in the Avid are bang on, but it seems that you have to boost them up 3dB over nominal!

Thanks a lot for posting this interview! Mitch was my hero, even as a little boy, He introduced me to Marilyn Monroe in "River Of No Return" which I saw at the age of 10 in 1957. Mitch died on June 30, 1997, almost 80 years old after a life full of adventures and many really good films. He'll live for ever!

[@jkjerome1]

You're right - her voice melts like butter in your ears - very pure sound.

[@planetrockford]

I became a fan of Robert Mitchum around 1993 when the BBC screened some of his films late at night 'Mitchum at Midnight' they called the series. I watched all his films on television after that. He is my favourite cinema actor of all time.

[@rsattahip]

Thank you for posting it.

[@JSB1882]

Geez! He was such a great actor. This is like a year before he died and he seems so worn out. He's 78 of course.

[@JSB1882]

Oh, yeah! Big time! It's amazing he lived this long. He had a lot of issues that he never dealt with in his lifetime. That probably made him a great actor. All of them were messed up actors: Henry Fonda, Spencer Tracy, Monty Clift,....

[@gailjarvis2592]

Hey, my guy is 84 and looks 59. Not a teetotaler - but never ate cigs like so many of the great actors did...Mitchum, Bogart, John Wayne, Robert Ryan, Aldo Ray (huge boozer too) Lee Marvin....the list goes on and on. What a loss.

Great, great actor. One of the real 'he-man' actors of a day looooong gone. Imagine going out for a night of drinking with him, Lawrence Tierney, Oliver Reed, and Lee Marvin? You'd come home with a billion dollars worth of stories..and probably a couple of black eyes. Loved these guys.

[@soapbxprod]

+Scott Q Thanks very much for tuning in and taking time to write such a kind comment! We really appreciate it. Luke Sacher (shooter of this interview)

[@sjames304]

+soapbxprod Thanks man..I loved Mitchum. 'Night of the Hunter' scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Mitchum was a monster in that. I read Oliver Reed's autobiography years ago. In it, he relates a great Mitchum story. Oliver had gone drinking with Mitchum during a film shoot (can't recall the film), and was lambasted the next morning by the director. The director was basically berating Reed (who was a younger actor then with no 'pull') for apparently making it too easy for RM to go out and get smashed..which he frequently did. Unbeknownst to the director, RM had walked up behind him and had heard everything, and took great offense to this. He proceeded to confront the director, who wanted NO PART of dealing with RM, and told him off. The director sheepishly took RM's scolding and backed down, and didn't bother either of them after that. I also heard/read that Mitchum was one of those actors who could always nail his scene. He could be hungover as hell and still 1/2 sloshed and he'd still nail it. The guy was a pro, and an iconic actor. One of the best of all time for sure.

[@soapbxprod]

+Scott Q AHAHA! Fantastic! Oliver Reed dropped dead in Freddy's Bar in Brooklyn... I lived very close to it and saw many great bands there in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including "Les Sans Culottes", the NYC French parody band... speaking of Mitch- when we arrived at his house to shoot the interview, I walked up to him and said, "It's a great honor to meet you." He replied, "Oh, I bet you say that to all the girls." And cracked that trademark smirk! AHAHA! What a GUY!

Still smart as a whip right here. Bless him.

[@soapbxprod]

newdomtanner Thanks for tuning in and leaving a comment- the audio improves at the end of the second or start of the third part, after the gardeners stop working- he wouldn't tell them to stop- "That's their job, dear", he says on camera. Cool guy to the end- he was still smoking Pall Mall unfiltered reds when we shot this- he was obviously very sick by then.

[@Lanarkish]

"We're talking about Film Noir... "Out Of The Past"...all the big productions had all the lamps so we just lit the sets with cigarettes..." Sharp as a tack. Mitchum was just untouchable, effortlessly cool-as-f*ck and nailing it right to the end. A class act.

[@MrHajuebe]

Dear soapbxprod: Thank you! I only wish the questions would be easier to hear. To really follow the interview one has to constantly change the volume (drastically) between the questions and Mitch's answers. Otherwise - as I said before - a very welcome interview with Mitch, about one year before his death. I have about 90 percent of his films in my dvd collection. Not all of them are first class, but many are.

[@NYVoice]

I'll throw in a Mitchum film that never gets a mention and it's quite good-the forerunner to Dallas, Knot's Landing, Dynasty and all the rest. It's called Home From The Hill (1960). He plays a wealthy tycoon who's trying to instill some manhood into his son, played by George Hamilton, while harboring a rather shaky local reputation and a few skeletons in the closet. See it.

[@NYVoice]

@@julianmarsh1378 Mitch was on a role at that time. Look up everything from Night Of The Hunter on. Incredible streak of great films.

[@freeweight5437]

“Home from the Hill” is my favorite Mitchum movie, thanks for mentioning. Mitchum is terrific, and rest of cast is also solid-even George Hamilton!

[@HeatherGlen33]

What is there to write about? He was a kind, gentle man, who loved his wife and was faithful. He did smoke much too much and had emphesema for last 5 years of his life. I met his brother Jim who was trying to take singing lessons in L.A. He loved his brother. His Mom was from Norway and that is why he was "slo" eyed. Kept away from women as much as possible. Wonderful down to earth man. That is why you liked him. He did have some fist fights.

Hi soapbxprod: Thank you for explaining this to me. I understand. The interview (or Mitchum's answers alone) are still a valuable addition for any Mitcum fan. I'm less interested in the Janet Leigh bio. I know she played opposite Mitchum in "Holiday Affair", but this film is really among the forgettable films of Mitchum, in my opinion. But Mrs. Leigh starred in a good number of high class films, too. I just mention "Psycho".

I will take a not so wild guess as to who the other four top tough guys are on your list, and probably everyone else's: BOGART; CAGNEY; E.G.ROBINSON, & GEORGE RAFT. (With "honorable mention" going to ROBERT RYAN; JACK PALANCE; LEE VAN CLEEF; & last but not least, my favorite, the unheralded LEO GORDON!)

[@timmccaffrey1326]

That's a great selection of tough guys you've listed here and I'm really surprised to see the great Leo Gordon's name mentioned. He must one of the most familiar faces from dozens of movies and T..V. shows but not many people could put a name to that granite face of his. If I remember correctly he was shot in the stomach while robbing a petrol station and he spent three or four years in Alcatraz, so he was the real deal. Come to think of it, I'd add Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Victor McLaglen and William Smith to the list as well....you'll never see guys like these again.

Know that incredible voice anywhere!!

Because Mitchum had the deep voice, build, good looks, tall and without a doubt his own man. I'm sure he dealt with more than his share of guys taunting him due to jealousy/envy. They did the same apparently with his son James( who is 3 ins taller than his Dad) but not Chris.I'm sure Bob told them to 'feck off' more often than actually dukin' it out.

He sure was a nice guy- just hated to be interviewed! He only consented to it because it was for Janet's biography. Thanks for watching, and great comment- we appreciate it. :)

[@MTknitter22]

yes, you can see WHY he hated it too

[@piedro132]

Can we please get these kind of actors back, true men, nothing fancy, they drank and smoke, but never regretted it, just a way of living. Humble, tough, made out of iron. They punched you up if they were in a bad mood, but class acts.

Awesome voice. What is really cool is, he was in the original Cape Fear and the remake 29 years later.

[@michaelanthonyg3851]

Still had that voice and personality

[@Rudy-zk2cq]

Whadda awesome voice!! He could've been a radio commentator or voice-overs for animated characters and such. I miss his fine acting. He has no equal!

My first film with Robert Mitchum was The Big Sleep 1978/79 in Miami Beach Florida at Lincoln Road & Collins Avenue.
