" I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady " "I gave up being serious about making pictures around the time I made a film with Greer Garson and she took one hundred and twenty-five takes to say no"... The kind of modesty those statements reflect were very much a part of the "Baby, I don't care" image that this most self-deprecating of actors projected, but I don't believe for a minute that he ever didn't take his craft seriously. A don't-sweat-it attitude must certainly have been an inherent part of his natural personality; an aspect of his ability to own the screen with confidence and authority without appearing to do much of anything. It enabled him to sail through a conviction and brief sentence for possession of marijuana in the mid-'40s which, rather than tarnish his public image, burnished it. It's what they call "star quality." As Katherine Hepburn told Dick Cavett on that subject in the '70s, "I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I've got it." What more can there be to say about it? Mitchum had it. But those natural gifts alone don't account for the performances he put onto the screen in films like Track Of the Cat, The Night Of the Hunter, The Sundowners, Cape Fear or Ryan's Daughter. Mitchum reportedly said about his profession, "It sure beats working." And it clearly suited him to leave the impression with the public of just a laid-back guy who lucked into a career that brought him fortune, celebrity and adulation. But performances like those don't happen by accident, and while watching his work, I'm convinced that he knew exactly what he was doing every second, was fully committed to it and was a true "thinking man's actor."

Two for the Seesaw (1962) / Robert Wise Shirley MacLaine
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz : Why so sore? 'Cause I feel sorry for ya?
Jerry Ryan : I don't think I can afford you. I'm not ready for a whole human, complete with weaknesses...
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz : Who asked ya? Who made an offer?
Jerry Ryan : I did, but I take it back. I'm neither ready nor able to be responsible for anything these days. Least of all an ingenuous nitwit. That's why I'm sore. Disappointment.
Gittel 'Mosca' Moscawitz : What does ingenuous mean? Smart?
Jerry Ryan : Dumb. Naive.
