You ask, was he a womanizer? Yes, but a very lazy one. Allison.įavorite co-stars…Jane Russell, Jane Greer, Ava Gardner, Deborah Kerr, Shirley MacLaine, Trevor Howard. At less sarcastic moments he would speak fondly of Night of the Hunter, Lusty Men, Wonderful Country, Heaven Knows Mr. His favorite role? Well, speaking of nonchalance…he liked to say his favorite part was in Midway-five days’ work and all of it on his back in a hospital bed. Howard Hawks says to him, “You’re a fraud, you pretend you don’t care but you’re the hardest working guy here.” Mitchum squirms, says, “Don’t tell anybody.” There’s the oft-quoted story, on the set of El Dorado. He was simply too committed to his sense of cool, and too weary of past disappointment, to let anyone see him showing more interest. But there was also a core of professionalism and a sense of his own talent lurking somewhere. He picked a number of jobs for the days off or because he could get in some fishing at the announced location. Mongo, Mitchum was really that nonchalant. Salutations my friends….I appreciate the continued interest….
