Strange Interview
Private Screenings: Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell (1996)
*** (out of 4)
Early episode of the series has Robert Osborne getting two legends at once but the end result isn't as good as one might hope. For starters, this episode only runs thirty-minutes, which isn't nearly enough time when you have two people to talk with. Mitchum looks to be in incredibly bad health and would die the following year so perhaps this has something to do with it. I had heard that he was extremely difficult in this interview but I didn't find him too bad as he seemed to get more comfortable as the thing went along. One only wonders how much stuff was left on the cutting room floor as it's obvious there's been quite a bit of editing. When he does talk he manages to tell a few good stories but there's a lot of stuff and a lot of films that he doesn't talk about. Russell appears a lot more comfortable answering the questions but she doesn't get too many as most are thrown Mitchum's way. THE OUTLAW, OUT OF THE PAST, HIS KIND OF WOMAN, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER and RYAN'S DAUGHTER are a few of the films mentioned with John Farrow, John Huston and Monroe getting some brief time as well.
