[@jillfoley6389]

Was taken to the cinema by my great aunt to see Not As A Stranger when I was about 10 years old in Wood Green and nearly fell off the seat when I saw Robert Mitchum. Had a great crush on this great actor and followed his career till the end. Never been anyone on this earth like Robert Mitchum - I'm now 77 and still adore him. Wish he was still here!

[@JudgeJulieLit]

And that last scene in a jeep at end of the film The Longest Day (about D-Day) when he lights a cigarette, and as it dangles from his lips he says to his corporal, "Run me up the hill, kid."

[@queenslander954]

Oooh ..that’s good news Jill , and yep all the blokes wanted to be him & the lady’s absolutely loved him .. if you haven’t already try Mitch’s biography called ‘Baby I don’t Care’ .. got it down in Australia so its definitely out there for sale , it’s great read about a real bloke.

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

He served Stateside in WWII as a Medic in a MEP Station. He was awarded an ARCOM. He was the sort of man who cared a lot more than he ever let on.

[@davidowens4145]

Definitely a man's man, but also a ladies' man apparently. This was the end of a great interview on Parky.

[@davidowens4145]

Stayed out of it. Wise, and I don't blame him.

Imagine going on a weekend "bender" with Robert Mitchum , Lee Marvin and Dean Martin ..... pure magic

Apparently Dean Martin wasn't really much of a drinker.

@@WillCamx yea mate I think that’s pretty good mail , apparently he used to go back to him room early & to watch Westerns on TV , like he said , you can’t get up at 6 in the morning to play Golf if you’re a alcoholic.

[@pattyb325]

I saw him on a talk show many years ago, telling a story about sitting in a pub/restaurant in England. He was alone, thinking he was not being noticed, when all of a sudden, everyone in the restaurant rose and bowed. He stood up, thinking they were fans, but the Queen of England had just entered with her entourage. He said he was very embarrassed that he thought all the hoopla was for him! He was very cool!

[@lolly2222aa]

GREAT story. Made me smile. Sweet!

[@Dress737]

He was cool!

[@Dress737]

You are not!

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

Never has a song suited an artist so well. I love Deans version but this fits Mitchums style..that cool so-what personality. I was surprised at his voice so many years ago. He was a man of extreme talent.

[@arpitamartin1093]

Robert Mitchum singing makes my heart throb and he is one of my favourite actors and have viewed all his films I love him 👍✅❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌physically cannot see him but he love ves in my heart !!’

[@mariellemartin9380]

Love his voice...loved him as an actor too.

[@tarnsand]

Robert Mitchum was a legendary story teller. Many of his co-stars have commented that he told wonderful stories on the movie set and off. However many actors wanted and needed time to prepare for their next scene and Bob would keep chatting right up until his co-stars call. Whereas when it was his next scene he simply walked on set did his lines and resumed his story/tale/yarn...ha. He said he acquired his love of singing from riding the rails across country looking for work pre-Hollywood. Which was the source of many of his stories.

[@jessiejames7492]

he had a photographic memory ..also he hated rehearsals. He once said'whats so difficult acting? you just do what the director instructs you to!' how cool is that.

[@jessiejames7492]

and a man with principles and not afraid to speak his mind

[@reubengerling6253]

Tarn Sand because he had phenomenal memory. One look at the script and he knew it!

[@user-ls1ew1dn8q]

wonderful voice! Robert Mitchum is my favorite actor. from Japan.

[@johnfargher99]

Robert Mitchum loved England and used spend alot of time here. He loved English country pubs. A friend of mine was out with his wife one saturday afrtoon and they called into a riverside pub about 40 miles west of London and there was Bob Mitchum holding court joking and singing in the bar.This was in the 80s so he must have been nearly 70 and my mate said he beat every man in the pub at arm wrestling.

[@mel140297]

Really enjoyed that - Big Robert is an absolute true legend

[@gisellegazda3884]

I really enjoy this; I like the harmonica. I never knew he sang! Pretty cool.

[@han_eliz8063]

Gorgeous, gorgeous man.

[@robininspain29]

Just finished watching 'Build My Gallows High' when Robert was 30 and I was 5! Not that I saw it at that age but I do remember Robert becoming my idol in the 50's - so many of us tried to emulate his cool and slightly laconic style. RIP Robert and hopefully we'll meet you for a little wine drinkin' one day!

[@mariannepereira7270]

Robert Mitchum was such a mulltitalented person. He could act, plus I never knew he had such a great voice. A very good looking man. His Dad would of been so proud of him. RIP beautiful man.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1967 {August 13th} "Little Ole Wine Drinker, Me" by Dean Martin entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #78; and on September 3rd, 1967 it peaked at #38 {for 2 weeks} and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #5 on both the Billboard Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and in Australia... Actor Robert Mitchum' version entered the Top 100 on August 6th, 1967 at #98, the next week it peaked at #96 and then fell off the chart... Between 1948 and 1969 Mr. Martin had thirty-nine Top 100 records; seven made the Top 10 with two reaching #1; "Memories Are Made of This" for 6 weeks in 1956 and "Everybody Loves Somebody" for 1 week in 1964... He just missed having a third #1 when “That’s Amore” peaked at #2 in 1953… R.I.P. Mr. Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, {1917 - 1995} and Mr. Mitchum {1917 - 1997}...

I am stunned and amaze, I love this man as a brilliant actor and I never knew he was a singer too. Wow, triple gifts looks charismatic acting and singing. Wow, I am enjoying this. Thank you for this unexpected upload and wonderful video. Have a good day. Mr. Robert M. Coolest man in the planet.👍

[@lucyd75]

You're welcome, Raini! Our Mitch had many talents indeed, and always so underrated. You should check out his two albums, some wonderful music there! Oh, and he was a songwriter as well, check out The Ballad of Thunder Road, which he wrote! :)

[@rainiedwards2342]

@@lucyd75 Good afternoon, what....? He wrote songs too? My goodness, God Bless and I will certainly check out his albums and of course enjoy and really respect it. I have to say again thank you for this surprise it uplifted my day and, Mr. Robert was a very low key genius and a gentleman, he was not one for a lot of attention and bravado. But you are absolutely right very underrated. Outstanding..... thank you, Ms. Lucy. 😎🍎

[@lucyd75]

@@rainiedwards2342 He did! He also wrote poetry, from the time he was 8 years old. A tough guy, but so very sensitive. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I'm sure you'll love the albums! Have a fab day! :)

[@tomokofujimoto5518]

He is the latest adorable actor of mine. I wish I could watch all of his movies.　I have already watched some of them. but most of his movies are unaccessable in Japan especially on a safe site.

[@DerekLyons]

The best actor ever!! Lucky that I met, spent some time with him in the 1980's on a movie.

[@jessiejames7492]

a very down to earth too. never spoke ill on anyone or talked bad about any actresses he worked with

Came across as a nice person was he ?

Now i'm watching war and remembrance, and Robert mitchum Is a grat actor

[@ianwilliamson2980]

A class act he was.

[@MrBumboclart]

Mitchum is the undisputed coolest actor of all time. I cannot think of anyone that compares... Actors of today are too plastic and geneated as a marketing tactic. Totally fake. Even the cool actors of old; McQueen, Dean, Bogart, Eastwood, for me, they just can't touch Mitch. RIP

[@NotHarpoGroucho]

Lyle Hill I'm pretty sure you don't know what undisputed means. It means it's a unanimous opinion, which it's not.

[@robertlowe1537]

Well I never I was born in 1943 uk followed this great man through my child hood and adult life great movies I did not know to this day he sang . Well not bad at all enjoy the longest day was the movie that has all ways stuck in my mind got the dvd to . the part he plays I like most of all is when he climbs into the jeep lights up his cigar then turns to say ( Drive me up the hill son ) a great husband farther granddad friend to all.
