Movies starring Robert Mitchum

Hoppy Serves a Writ (1943)

Nevada (1944)

62 mins     Western      

For a brief minute ignore the names of the actors who appear in "Nevada" and focus on the story and action and what we have is a typical b-western from the 1940s. We have the heroic young cowboy, the sidekicks, the case of be...

108 mins     Drama, War      

Whilst not a war movie fanatic I have watched my fair share and have seen some which declare to tell the true story of what it was like to be a solider in the trenches. But having watched "Story of G.I. Joe" for the first tim...

Out of the Past (1947)

97 mins     Drama, Thriller      

How do you define film-noir, does it start with the look, the smoky air, the dark nights lit by a city and the people lurking in the shadows. Maybe it then becomes the story often told via narration which is full of mystery, ...

Crossfire (1947)

From a pure entertainment point of view "Crossfire" works with director Edward Dmytryk employing a noir look which adds atmosphere. He also employs a strong cast including the three Roberts; Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robe...

Rachel and the Stranger (1948)

92 mins     Drama, Romance, Western      

Technically "Rachel and the Stranger" is a western, a tale of frontiers men adapted from Howard Fast's story and in doing so shows aspects of life living in a cabin in the wilderness. But in truth director Norman Foster has t...

The Red Pony (1949)

89 mins     Drama, Family, Western      

"The Red Pony" is based upon a John Steinbeck story, in fact Steinbeck himself adapted in to the screenplay and whilst a relatively low key movie sporting a lot of talent it is none the less fascinating. In a way what is fasc...

The Big Steal (1949)

71 mins     Thriller      

For some reason "The Big Steal" has over the years been called film-noir, maybe technically it is but from my own definition it is more of a light weight crime, road trip drama. I say that because there is plenty of humour go...

His Kind of Woman (1951)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

"His Kind of Woman" starts as one thing, a mysterious thriller, a piece of film-noir but then by the end and with Vincent Price intentionally hamming it up as an actor it borders on being a comedy. For me it doesn't work and ...

My Forbidden Past (1951)

RKO owner Howard Hughes was many things and one of those was a man who appreciated beautiful women or at least that would be the impression you got if you were to watch one of his movies. That most certainly would be the impr...

Angel Face (1952)

91 mins     Crime, Drama      

I don't know what it is but I just don't get what is so great about film-noir, for some reason these movies which seem to be loved by many and rated highly rarely seem to float my boat. Don't get me wrong as each to their own...

River of No Return (1954)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

"River of No Return" would have struggled to be an average western if it wasn't for two things, Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe as it is these 2 actors who make it an entertaining and enjoyable movie. Without them you are l...

Beautiful But Dangerous (1954)
