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

  7. 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.

  9. 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.
