Mitchum Noir

    Most of us would rate him as one of the great Noir leads as his face fits the role of a doomed loser.

    Definitely. Michum was practically made for noir.

    THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE was one of the greatest noirs ever. And Mitchum was never better. I reviewed it, as part of a top 10 post-1970 film noir list on my website.

    I saw The Friends of Eddie Coyle about 10 times, read the book 3 times and saw the stage adaptation this past Dec. in Cambridge, MA. Soooo, I had to produce a tribute to this awesome Mitchum film! I invite you to this youtube tribute which has 5 elements including 2 recreated scenes (from the film) and a homage to music composer to the original film, David Grusin. The DVD of my project also contains an exclusive 2010 interview with Alex Rocco who played Jimmy Scalise in the film. Please comment and share on twitter, etc. Thanks for the great blog post!:
