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

[@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.

[@b.visconti1765]

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

MacLaine

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

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.

[@jimedge8301]

Never seen New York city with no garbage on the streets before, almost didn't recognize it 🤣 good movie , lots of iconic buildings in the back ground.

[@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.

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.

Turn-not “turned”. You’re welcome.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@nanwilder2853 OP has no reason to thank you. There is no grammatical error, although I think Shirley did appear in a few clinkers.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 💎🛍️🍾🍸🍸🎭👘👠👠💎

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]

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

[@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.

[@johnbougearel9215]

Neither Mitchum or McClaine could overcome that poorly written painful convoluted dialogue

Breakfast at Tiffany's meets Purging at the Slaughter house district. This wreck might have been saved if they replaced Squirrely Maclaine with Judy Holliday and Robert Mitchum with anybody else. (Jack Lemmon, John Gavin, someone to fit and act out the part.) I only watched this humorless unsympathetic travesty to see what was nominated for the 1963 Academy Awards. There was never any chemistry between the two leads and Robert Mitchum is not Greenwich Village material. How could it even be nominated? Big names don't guarantee a great movie. Two for the seesaw? How about Two for the Buzzsaw? On a scale of 1 to 5 it doesn't even register. I had heard the movie was lousy but I had to see for myself. Lousy was generous.

Thank you for reminding me there are still some astute movie critics. What horrible casting. Oh yes, Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon were truly gifted actors meant for roles like this. I can't imagine how agonizingly painful it would have been sitting through this 2 HR flop at the movie theatre even with the intermission there was in those days. Squirrelly captures the essence of Shirley Maclaine's talent who only belonged in the back of a theatre chorus line.
