Heaven knows Mr Allison was a favourite of mine.

Who's Mr. Allison?

Old Knudsen said...

His marine character who was stuck on an island with a hot nun.

I spent an afternoon with him when he was filming in the countryside of Surrey in the early eighties. What a charming man.

I was just about to praise Cape Fear when I see that Dive beat me to it. Mitchum was so good at being bad.

Wait, I just read Lynn's comment. Seriously, Lynn? He was pretty aged by then and not nearly as attractive as his younger scoundrel self. I'm jealous, though.

These days, he'd be jailed for ten.

Seriously, Robyn. Older yes, but very good looking still and extremely charming. I told him i was into acting and he advised me against it, saying 'do a proper job, i've just been lucky'. He was filming a tv series, can't remember the name, with Deborah Kerr whom i was also privileged to be with for that short time. I have photos! Perhaps i'll post them on my Things UK if you'd be interested? Sorry, Old K, banging on here about all this on your blog.

Mitchum was excellent in Cape Fear, The Big Sleep and that other flick which had him smoking.... he dribbled but that wasn't his fly said round the blueberry cheese tree


Sorry, what was the fucking question again?
