As former rodeo star Jeff McCloud in the lusty men (1952), perhaps the closest Mitchum came to playing a fully realised natural performance.
Least favorite character is Curt Bridges in track of the cat (1954), a complete A-hole.

Many to choose from. I'll go with his independent minded rum runner from Thunder Road. His son, James Mitchum, was in Thunder Road with Dad.  |

I like to quote the critic who compared the original Cape Fear to the 1991 remake, to wit, that Robert Mitchum exudes more menace just by showing up than DeNiro could muster for all his Method huffing and puffing.

I agree totally re Mitchum versus De Niro. Maybe a bit unfair due to the latter's small stature and lack of strong screen presence, but that's the way it was. It's strange to me that Martin Scorsese chose to remake,--of all movies!--the 1962 black and white shocker Cape Fear, so perfect for what it was, and set in a place and at a time that gave it a special resonance that no remake could ever have. Definitely my favorite Mitchum performance. He owns his every scene.

A tough call " I got three expressions: looking left, looking right and looking straight ahead...I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady" and what a selection of lovely leading ladies... Dorothy McGuire , Jane Russell , Lizabeth Scott , Ann Blyth , Susan Hayward , Jean Simmons , Linda Darnel , Marilyn Monroe , Teresa Wright , Olivia de Havilland , Shelley Winters , Gloria Grahame , Jan Sterling , Geneviève Page , Ursula Thiess , Deborah Kerr , Rita Hayworth , Shirley MacLaine , Elsa Martinelli , Elizabeth Taylor , Mia Farrow , Charlotte Rampling , Jeanne Moreau , Katharine Hepburn , Laraine Day , Ingrid Thulin , Ava Gardner , Faith Domergue , Greer Garson , Jane Greer , Loretta Young , Barbara Bel Geddes , Myrna Loy , Janet Leigh... Cool cowboy Jim Garry Blood On the Moon (1948)  |
