Film General : Robert Mitchum - Best Roles?

Robert Mitchum - Best Roles?

I think he was great in every movie. Usually portrayed a virile leading man, but was great in "Ryan's Daughter" as a cuckold. Maybe his best performance is in "Night of the Hunter"

Re: Robert Mitchum - Best Roles?

I agree about "Night of the Hunter" but you are also correct that he was great in just about everything. He could trade fast-talking quips with a leading lady in semi-comic crime thrillers (Jane Greer in "The Big Steal"), portray noir angst in classics like "Out of the Past," and look right at home in a western ("Man With The Gun").

The night of the hunter will always remain his most iconic and immortalizing part, out of the past is also high up there!
