ROBERT MITCHUM My father, his pony & me! with Chris Mitchum A WORD ON WESTERNS 

Robert Mitchum is one of my favorite actors. Thanks so much for having Chris. "Heaven knows Mr. Allison" is so great.

Robert Mitchum: "River of No Return" film. Classic!

Robert Mitchum is one of The Greats... I Love ALL those Old Westerns.

Mitchum was cool as ice!

I am proud of my naval service. I tell everyone that me and Bob Mitchum were in a movie together a never had a cross word. Truth is me and a couple hundred shipmates from the Big E were extras in Winds Of War..yeah me and Bob were in a movie together. Lol

I got crazy about Mitchum when I seen him in Thunder Road. I knew all he ever did would be great.

Love watching Robert Mitchum. He was such a handsome MAN.

Always loved Robert Mitchum

Robert Mitchum was a helluva actor. Made some great movies.

It's a pleasure to see Robert Mitchell & fam. I still wach those Western movies. Thanks.

Robert Mitchum did the narrative on the movie Tombstone ..him and Sam Elliott had very distinct voices...

Robert Mitchum and Dean Martin in five card stud . Another great movie and what a bad preacher!

Robert Mitchum was one of my all time favorite actors. The Phillip Marlowe detective series was my favorite movie. Mr. Mitchum could also sing .

Robert Mitchum was a natural he simply was the character and you can’t catch him acting he simply is . You don’t notice anything that you don’t believe is actually real!

26 wasn't a kid in the 40s. Men younger than that beat the heck out of Hitler Mussolini and Tojo. It was a different time

River of No Return is one of my top Mitchum films. Mitchum, Monroe, beautiful locations, and the haunting title song by Ernie Ford

I was 73 before I saw “Night of the Hunter”. I love his quirky, bad guy portrayal and no one could have played it better. It will my favorite along with Ryan’s daughter. I remembered “Home from the Hill” as a child was another favorite. I would like to see it again.

I have been a big fan of Robert Mitchum since I was a kid and have watched all of his Movies many times over and have never been bored watching him. I sure wish I could have met him in person, even if it was only for a few seconds, he was and still is ultra Cool.

When I was a child I was in love with Robert Mitchum. It’s really nice listening to his son n sharing stories about his dad. ♥️😊👍

Thank you Chris Mitchum your stories are so enjoyable and the way you present them is an added plus. God Bless You and your family.

One of my favorites is "Home from the hill". I never knew any of them were blackballed in the 60s. That's a shame. A lot of western star's sons could have gotten together to do some great western movies and TV series of westerns.

My mother and my oldest sister had such a crush on Robert Mitchum. My first introduction to him was "Thunder Road"! I can't think of any time I was disappointed in any of his movies. No one can blame nepotism for Chris's career either because he has a lot of his father in him but I am sure he might not have had his initial opportunity without a of dad's help.

Robert Mitchum and His Son Chris Mitchum Both Amazing Talents. Great Show Thank you, Rob!

Chris Mitchum is a very personable and down to earth guy.

Must've been an amazing way of life having a superstar actor for a father. I always felt that Robert Mitchum was probably a nice person in real life. Sounds like he mostly was.

I loved him in "Night of the Hunter" excellently evil. Well, he was good in whatever he did.

ROBERT MITCHUM HAS TO BE MY FAVORITE ACTOR IN THE WESTERN EL DORADO.. DEAN MARTIN PLAYED THE SAME CHARACTER IN RIO BRAVO WITH WALTER BRENNAN AND RICKY NELSON

El Dorado is my favorite western. Heaven Knows Mr Allison was a great movie. Shows how good a movie can be with basically only 2 actors. Mitchum has been my favorite actor since I was a kid.

Robert Mitchem waa an icon, you could hear him speak and instantly knew who it was.

Robert Mitchum was completely underrated as an actor. He's one of my all time favorites and came across as an outstanding individual in real life. He was also a total babe with an incredible resonance to his voice!

Robert Mitchum was so wonderful. One of my many favorites Heaven knows Mr. Allison.

His eyes smile just like his dad's.

One of Robert Mitchum's movie i love to watch when i was a kid was Heaven Knows Mr. Allison a great war movie.

Glad they mentioned “Ryan’s Daughter” and “The Sundowners”. I don’t know if you can say Mitchum was underrated. However, he was a master at dialects, a great talent for an actor and one he didn’t get to use that often.

EL DORALDO was one of my favourite shows 🥰💖🙏oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Once again Rob you've hit another great actor 😍🙏

So grateful for this witness of the greatness of Robert Mitchum.

Robert Mitchum was close to our area when he was getting started being known in Movies and his car broke down at My Wife's Uncles house and he stayed with then a couple days until his car could be repaired, They actually had pictures, while he was there they went out on the town to eat and have a good time.

Bob Mitchum was a class act, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Jim and Chris following in his footsteps. An enjoyable segment.

Great interview with Chris Mitchum. So good to hear the background stories. 👍

when i was a young Marine in California, i met Robert Mitchum at a Hospital where my girlfriends Mother worked as a nurse. Mr Mitchum was in a wheel chair and he had the attendant stop when i waved at him. and we talked for a couple of minutes, and i told him i was a big fan of his. he was a good fellow.

Great interview Rob! I could listen to Chris Mitchum all day -- what a life he's led so far. Must be difficult growing up and trying to follow in a superstar's footsteps but he seems to have done it his way. Thanks for allowing us to go back to a more genteel time -- guys like Mitchum, Duke, Bond, Cooper, Gable probably wouldn't recognize or tolerate today's filmmakers.

This was really a fun interview 😉 Thanks! I fully enjoy Robert Mitchum films.

Chris Mitchum was an excellent actor. He added a lot of dimension and sincerity to every movie he was in. Thank you Rob Word for your great interview videos.

My favorite Robert Mitchum movie was Heaven Knows Mr. Allison

Hey there fella, I still enjoy watching your father till this day, they just don't makem like him anymore!

I liked him in everything he was in. My most favorites are Holiday Affair, Desire Me and Out Of The Past.

I so much love your shows Mr Word.A Lot of your shows take me back to when I was a kid in the 50's and early 60s.The entertainment is priceless.

“Out of the Past”-known also as “Hang My Gallows High”. Amazing, incredible performances way beyond their years. David Lean wanted to work with Mitchum and misplaced him in “Ryan’s Daughter.” His stature was too powerful for the part. The intimidation Mitchum brings to “Cape Fear” (1962) and the final scenes show how wonderful an actor he was. His great body of work will guarantee his iconic place in movies for all time. Thank you for this very enjoyable posting,

Robert Mitchum was such a great actor. And was so good looking. Love his son Chris . To bad Hollywood didn’t give his a chance.

Mitchum was a boss! Could play any role especially a villain. Best was Night of the Hunter and Five Card Stud ironically both a ministers who are killers.

Just want Chris to know my favorite John Wayne movie is Big Jake. His part in that movie helped make it one of my favorites.

Excellent interview! Chris has a great speaking voice and is very articulate and entertaining! His dad has always been a favorite of mine. 👍👍👏😃

Robert Mitchum is my favorite actor of ALL times!! Heaven knows Mr. Allison great movie.

Out of past movie. Great Douglas / Greer beautiful & Mitchum so young & great actors 💋💋💋

I love all Robert Mitchum movies but my favorite is The Enemy Below.

I loved Robert in Thunder Road and he sang the title song . I’m 72 and still listen to it.

when the camera pans away, he has his father's profile even more so than full face.

Wow that was a great interview I really like his personality I hope you have him on again as a young boy I met Hopalong Cassidy in Chicago he was at goldblatt's what a great interview thank you

Chris Mitchum , great actor and a dead ringer of his father. To bad he didn't make more movies here. Wish I found this years ago.

chris you're father was a genius actor,lucky you,helluva man

Always been a Robert Mitchum fan.

THAT WAS AWESOME...

I always wondered why we saw so little of Chris Mitchum after the John Wayne movies. He was such a good actor! Thanks for bringing us this interview!

Loved Mitchum. Hunk & great actor 🌹

Thank you Rob for great interview with Chris, all of Robert's films are favorites, especially River of no Return

The good guys and the bad guys. Robert Mitchem's role as marshal Flag is a master piece, in my opinion.

The Enemy Below from 1957 is one of my faves! What a great ending to that movie!

Big Chris Mitchum fan. Am never disappointed by your programs.

I'm real glad I watched this Show. I didn't realize that Chris rechem actually had a Korea outside the United States. And that he had tons 65 films. The dam shame that I got blackballed because of his relationship with the great John Wayne.

My favorite actor...esp. in westerns...Rip Mr Robert Mitchum

Robert was a real tough guy. He left home at 16 to ride the rails

Chris Mitchum from Rio Lobo to current day I am now 57 and you still make my heart rate increase, you handsome man. Love listening to your memories.

Thanks Rob for making my Sunday with another "Word on Westerns" and some great stories of Robert Mitchum as told by his son Chris. 😊👍😊

Thanks Rob I'm a big Robert Mitchum fan . His westerns and Thunder Road which really led to good ole boy movies of the 60's and 70's . I don't think he gets enough credit for and singing the theme song to the move. And of the war movies he play in over the years.

Another great show Rob.Chris was the perfect guest.Looking forward to next Sunday.

Wow, when I was a kid Robert Mitchum was big but sadly didn't remember his son being an actor til I heard his voice sounds so familiar. Wow I loved this. Stories about his dad really cool 🌺🌵😀

Just can't beat that incredible format Rob ! Best kept secrets ! Priceless tidbits, are pure Rob Word Gold ! ( at least it's my opinion Rob ) Don't change a thing ! These perfect little Hollywood Secrets would be lost to time without your program ! I can't begin to thank you enough Rob ! Whatever you do, don't change a thing ! You have that elusive "IT” factor that everyone tries without end, and in most cases Rob, can never seem to find !

Chris Mitchum starred in a movie called Summer Time Killer, and boy did that movie became the biggest blockbuster in Iran around 1976. He was the teen idol among all the girls that year. My sisters were just raving about him. I was maybe four years old and used to stare at this poster with Chris on a motorcycle ridding on the beach with his dog running behind him. To this day that is one of my favorite movies.

loved the story about the beginnings of robert mitchum.

Just watched Heaven Knows Mr. Allison before watching this. Robert was a great actor. He liked working with Deborah Kerr the most.

Robert Mitchum and Sir Laurence Olivier, wow 2 absolute legends

I'm sure Robert mitchum didn't tell anyone he was an actor if u met him in a bar etc. Acting was just a job nothing else.

Thanks for the show you are truly bringing back great memories of my childhood and thank the older I get the more I wish the western would take back the box office 👍🇳🇴🇺🇸

Robert Mitchum is still one of my favorite actor. Loved his voice

Chris, love your DAD. Awesome actor.I record all his movies.

I would have loved him no matter what, but the fact he looked so much like my favorite, Uncle Ott, just endears him all the more.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle is one of my favorite all time films. Real old school 70s Boston crime flick.

The best voice ever. Can't remember the exact title cause it's been awhile, but I think it was "Home from the Heart" with him , George Prepard, and George Hamilton from 1962. Great movie.

Mitchum in El Dorado play the perfect alcoholic ... the trails of the old west man in towns all over America at that time there were a lot of functioning alcoholics in the 1800's

This is such a wonderful channel. The interviewer is clearly passionate about the genre and is well informed when interviewing guests.

Hey, Rob. I ran across this interview with Chris Mitchum and it is a gem, my friend. I like Chris and hearing him speak about hid dad is really a wonderful treat, and “the goose” is a hoot. The Cowboy Hall of Fame is mentioned and I have been there. An old service buddy was stationed there and I just had to make a visit. One thing that really caught my eye was the sculpture of “End of The Trail” with the totally defeated Native Amarican on his pony; what a moving work of art that piece is.. As an aside there were other Halls of Fame in that city including the National Softball. And Firefighters Halls of Fame as well.Thanks for the video, Rob, and take care, amigo.

Very, very good. Mitchum was underrated. I always thought it was so easy for him he looked bored at times. Good to see Chris again. Never did know what he all did.

Robert was a great actor CHRIS I always thought like his father is cool as hell!

The pitcher on the floor of the Duke is the same one my dad hung on the boys bathroom wall in my house growing up, my mom use to giving heck about that picture in bathroom. Thanks dad and thanks Rob for the show

Has anyone see Home From the Hill ? It's a very strong powerful movie. It also stars Eleanor Parker, George Peppard, George Hamilton, and Everett Sloane. Of all his movies this is my favorite.

Wonderful ! Just found this post ! I've always been a Big fan of this era of great movie making. Can't wait to watch more. Marion Morrison must really be enjoying whats finally happening to the Spoiled American Socialist (SAS-sing) criminals and creeps in politics, academia, media, entertainment and law today that will restore our country to the Founding principles.

Great interview, wish I could've been there. Mitchum mentioned the TCM Film Noir series on Sundays. Someone here awhile back commented on how Rob should host a Western genre one on TCM. I STRONGLY agree. Rob has the knowledge, the love, connections and the ability as an interviewer to make an outstanding program Saturdays would be a great time.

chris thanks for sharing .. loved mr mitchum and family

What a nice fellow Chris Mitchum appears to be. I'm so glad I watched this because he was always one of my favorite John Wayne support actors, along with Victor Laughlin. I always wondered why he seemed to just disappear from the American movie scene and this explains it. I'm glad he found such great success elsewhere, but it sure was our loss. Thanks for nothing, Hollywood.

'The Yakuza' would have to be one of my fav Mitchum movies
