Two for the Seesaw I American Romantic Drama Film 1962 I Robert Mitchum, Shirley MacLaine

[@charlesdonahue9374]

Today's Hollywood doesn't have the talent to make this type of movie! Thank you for posting this classic.

[@BernardProfitendieu]

this was a classic flop

[@tinjadog]

When Robert Mitchum is cooking me dinner, I am not complaining about anything. ❤️

[@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252]

Powerful. I think it's what they call "bittersweet". Hats off to the dialogue writers too.

[@jeffsilverman6104]

Out of all of his more violent and action roles, this is my favorite Mitchum film. He was great in everything, but when he let his sensitive side really come out, it's a pleasure to watch.

[@econhelp583]

A love the opening, NYC, early 60s, reminds me of uncle who was 39 in 1960 and living in NYC as an artist. I visited him many times at his studio apartment on 23rd street in the 1970s. Those days are long gone.

[@sxwrtr918]

Was a kid in NYC in the '60s. Parents later divorced and my dad lived on 23rd Street, near the iconic Chelsea Hotel.

[@b.visconti1765]

Ms McClain, Shirley, You are an always will be one of my favorite actresses..Thank You for Entertaining Us All These Years 😘

[@eshaibraheem4218]

I thought this would never end.

MacLaine

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

The first time I saw her it was in The Apartment with Jack Lemon. I thought she was the prettiest girl in the world.

[@alvaropelayo8084]

Robert Mitchum a legend of the cinema, great actor

[@piehound]

Yes great BIG actor. One reason a man his size could stroll through NYC so casually. It would be difficult for a smaller person to knock him down.

Robert Mitchum is my favorite even over the Duke never seen this movie

[@peterdrake9615]

Wow! Powerfully emotional. Two, unlikely people experience in each other a deep, fragile hopefulness. So beautiful, so sensitive with dialog that cuts right through to the bone.

[@dolorescordell129]

Great script. Marvellous performances from Mitchum and MacLaine. Five stars!

[@celticpridedrums]

terrible dialogue "the book of cliches"

[@akrenwinkle]

@@celticpridedrums I thought I was the only one to see this dreck for what it is. People are easily influenced by names. Mitchum, MacLaine, Wise. How could it not be wonderful? It isn't. It's pretentious manure posing as art. My husband and I waded through it for almost half an hour, then gave up.

[@roxiroxi4181]

Every movie i saw with Robert Mitchum it was an emotional one...plus here there is Shirley Mclaine!!❤ Black and white, an evocative music...good director.....great movie!!

[@robertastanger9983]

What a good movie. Wonderful acting.

[@DufresneCarole]

Robert MItchum, un des grands du cinéma de l'époque et Shirley Maclain, le bon cinéma. Une parfaite qualité d'image . Merci pour la publication

[@GUNMETALGUYUSA]

She's always a favorite old school beauty. Great movie. Mitchum is the prototype Man 💯 Lacking in today's world. Always great performance.

[@Autostade67]

Mitchum really shows his chops here, bringing nuance and vulnerably and a deft intelligence in his choices re: line delivery. The other star is Ted McCord whose very fine cinematography in other films is drop dead gorgeous here - a real master of latitude in black and white - perfection, really.

[@sergioluz-ec1vz]

Why people complicate life so much, instead of just living the beauty of being with someone who loves them?

Well done movie with good story for people who are getting divorced , and definitely still care about their partner's health condition ..Nice and good looking Shirley .

[@aureliobrighton1871]

Seems I've been at the wrong party all my life, with or without hat. Glad to pop in here though. Robert Mitchum, Shirley Mclaine, André Previn. Each one a superb human in their own rights. Thankyou 😊

Directed by Robert Wise....the guy who directed "The Sound of Music"......and many other's..... wonderful director/man.....Robert Mitchum.....worked with Marilyn Monroe on "River of no Return"......he adored her as did everybody else.... looking forward to watching this movie!

[@johnsilva9139]

I believe Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe were friends from when they worked together in a munitions plant in L.A. during WWII before they started acting in movies. I believe she was still Norma Jean.

[@judyannlemay618]

Marilyn Monroe’s First Husband & Robert Mitchum Fought in WWll together on the same Naval Boat 🚢 Jim Dogerty I believe his name was…Marilyn Monroe was Married off by her Foster Parents Neighbor Jim Dogerty….Poor Marilyn was only 16 yrs.old & Jim was 24…Bastards!! Robert Mitchum Always was Kind & Respected Marilyn Monroe…You can look it up ;]

[@eustaciogriego1912]

Well done good acting good writing.

good writing? nonsense--the man can't talk without fumbling over a thousand stupid cliches . Just give us the words!!

[@caralynhale3757]

Fabulous. Never heard of this film, don't understand why not !

[@donbrown1284]

Failed at the box office badly. Quickly forgotten. Director Wise went on to direct West Side Story immediately after. Both Mitchum and Maclaine on to better films.

[@theviolingeek]

The music was phenomenal!❤

[@celticpridedrums]

When movie dialogue was written in unending cliches and metaphors . cant they just say it? whew! If my task as a movie student was to write every one down. I would have 3 pages by now and I'm only a quarter in!

[@dougcane4059]

One big danger for people in love - is to talk too much.

[@queenkristina60]

Have always loved this film - great leads, script, director - music by Andre Previn and wardrobe by the great Orry-Kelly. Love the sensitive interaction in the romance. And of course New York in the 60s - bliss

[@patriceguitard2116]

Give me more of these two unforgettable 🔥💛🔥

[@susant700]

After reading the comments for "SeeSaw"; I'm going to pass on this for now. ✨If anyone is looking for a good Shirley Maclaine and Robert Mitchem movie: "What A Way To Go" is one of the best. A favorite of mine from 1964. Shirley looked mid century gorgeous in all of her wardrobe changes; beautiful gowns, etc. Robert Mitchem was a HOOT 😊. Such a fun, silly, light hearted, warm romantic comedy. Great cast, scenery and acting. Along with Paul Newman, Gene Kelly and other greats. Worth watching. 💎🛍️🍾🍸🍸🎭👘👠👠💎

[@debrarobey3749]

Don't be a chicken. Expand your horizons. It couldn't hurt.... Lol

Old movies use to play on regular TV on Saturday nights without any adverts at all.

[@RosyOutlook2]

I had two commercials play back to back, one was over 1:22 seconds the other over 23 seconds, you presume we're all shown 5 second ads, either you're underplaying it or they run short ads for new accounts.

[@malikroy9069]

So they had an affair in real life as Shirley was in an open marriage with her rich husband, but he could not leave his childhood sweetheart wife for her, just like in the movie. Shirley said this in her memoirs many years after Robert's death.

Right, she'd be a cool mom, a hip mom, a free spirit. That is, a bad mom. She'd make a good aunt. Aunts aren't moms. They can leave whenever they want and no one calls them a bad aunt.

[@Karibee61]

Robert Mitchum fell in love with Shirely McClaine whilst working with her on this film. Their affair apparently lasted three years.

[@splattered63]

Mitchum one of my favourites, early Shirley always good but didn't really do much for me. I kept on thinking how corny, the script is trying to hard, not so much the acting, just what they had to work with I suppose. A cameo from a young Ken Berry ( F-troop) was a bit of a twist.

[@LeeZeidel-s1h]

Was Shirley Maclain in love with Robert Mitchum at one time ?

[@e.s.l.1083]

Someone tell me he was a joking about the bed bugs. 🐛 🐛 🐛 🐛 🐛 🐛 🐛 cause she offers him her bed right after (she doesn't look after herself at all)

[@patrickryan1515]

That kind of bothered me too. But with romance just around the corner - well...

[@e.s.l.1083]

@@patrickryan1515 yeah, it *was* later mentioned in his apartment: something as to the 'personal investments' after 'taking care of HIS bed bug problem'. So, it wasn't 'banter'. One supposes, in any association, it's of value to have shared task performances. Task performances, testing the compatabilities and capacities of functionality. So, how did they as a couple move as a team - descending on those BED BUGS. END goal: the BED BUGS eradication. Btw, just as a heads up in life: 'when romance just around the corner' that IS the most VITAL time to look after one's self - that oxytocin (bonding hormone) does, and will, endanger one's quality (and quanity) of choices (that follow it).

[@msheart2]

I don't recall when exactly but I remember hearing NYC having a massive bed bug infestation sometime either in the 1990's or early 2000's, bed bugs are not due to the lack of personal hygiene, rather from mobility, luggage, moving from city to city. And btw, " oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that causes increased contraction of the uterus during labour and stimulates the ejection of milk into the ducts of the breasts."

[@stanreno9917]

there was an infestation of bed bugs at that time. lived nyc from 1954 till 2005

Great acting, but the plot lacks of originality and spark. It is just about a common couple story, not much more!

[@gordonquigg9389]

He was such a stupid womaniser. She was such a beautiful nice wholesome woman. He ruined her over and over. He should have swallowed his lame assed pride and made a good solid life with her. He should have been more kind to her, and stood by her side, because she was a loyal good woman that deserved to be treated like a princess. This ending was so sad and wrong.

[@demejiuk5660]

Wow the movie absolutely went over your head. He was not at all a womanizer but he was not 100% present and wasn't honest about his feelings. She suffered from a chronic lack of self love. This meant that she found ithard to receive love, gifts, reassurance. She found it hard to be vulnerable and to trust, That's why she would rather he beleve that she slept with Jack than to admit that she was sick.
