"I had been told that Bob Mitchum was difficult. Nothing could have been further from the truth. He was a delight to work with, and he gave a beautiful performance. He is one of the finest actors I've ever had anything to do with. His air of casualness or, rather, his lack of pomposity is put down as a lack of seriousness, but when I say he's a fine actor, I mean an actor of the caliber of Olivier, Burton, and Brando. In other words, the very best in the field." -John Huston
Lol…@27:33 I hear you!
The relationship is similar to Bogart and Hepburn in African Queen
I just watched this movie a few weeks ago and have since gone down a Mitchum and Kerr rabbit hole. I haven't watched your video yet, but looking forward to it.
Some trivia: Kerr was this very refined, classy, respected and serious actress and when Mitchum was cast, after Brando rejected the role, she was intimidated by Mitchum's bad boy reputation, was concerned about how it would go. And Mitchum was intimidated by her refined, classy image. The two ended up becoming life-long friends and each counted the other as their favorite costar. Kerr brought out Mitchum's tenderness, and he brought out an earthiness in Kerr. They were polar opposites who connected. You can see that connection on screen in the movies they did together.
Robert Mitchum was so cool because he didn't give a shit about being cool.
HEAVEN KNOWS MR. ALLISON (1957) 80/100%
Very eclectic mix, you're really going back a bit….and why not…..yes, Deborah Kerr was indeed banging Robert Mitchum at that time, when she was playing a nun……not so prim and proper, after all.
The game is called “Go”.
Robert Mitchum seems a little disturbing from that quotation about his leading ladies. He also appears with Kerr in The Grass Is Greener (Cary Grant plays her husband).
This movie is a little like but with without reciprocated romance.
Unusual for Hollywood to let a young attractive woman follow her calling and stay a nun. is another. I don't think she has any problem not falling in love with him. I loved seeing a platonic relationship. (Would have been nice if that were true both ways, but I guess she gets to affirm her calling this way.)
I'm not so sure they were trying to satisfy the Church (meaning the Catholic Church). Although it doubtless had a lot of power, there were a lot of people (and thus a lot of moviegoers ) who regarded Catholics with suspicion. JFK's religious affiliation worked more against him than for him in his campaign for presidency (the first and only Catholic U.S. president until Biden).
You should consider doing A Nun's Story with Audrey Hepburn.
Thanks for this movie review 'it's one of my all time favorites. Just one question ' I've heard lots of Americans pronounce Deborah Kerr's last name like "Car" 'when it 's" Kerr" " like " Cur" 'is it just American pronunciation?
Hi Mia. The movie is about learned discipline consideration and perserverence that is shared between a nun and a marine. The movie could not" develop the realtionship in the way you desired. It would have ruined the films message
Mitchum and Kerr also starred together in the excellent Australian located movie,The Sundowners …with added Peter Ustinov.
For Deborah Kerr's best performance, IMO, you should see The Innocents.
think about Ship of Fools as a film – wonderful ensemble cast and beautiful love story
I remember reading a story that Mitchum initially avoided Kerr during filming because he'd never worked with her before and had a perception of her as very proper and ladylike, qualities he greatly disliked. Anyway, during the rehearsal of one scene Kerr and the director got into an argument which ended with Kerr cussing the director out in language blue enough to stun a sailor. Mitchum, who was standing chest deep in the ocean at the time, started laughing so hard he nearly drowned. Obviously, he stopped avoiding Kerr after that and they eventually became lifelong friends. This is probably my favorite Robert Mitchum story. He was a fascinating man.
Well done movie.
See Robert Mitchum in THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955) Unforgettable.
The game the Japanese are playing in the supply room is 'Go', kind of a version of Connect4, although it is more territory based. It's a traditional game of strategy of both defense and offense, and taken very seriously by some.
The game the Japanese soldiers are playing is Go.
His treatment of her is Chivalry. A concept pretty much forgotten today.
