		Mitchum had the look and sound of a cynic, but he could be genuinely heroic on screen, or gentle and compassionate.
		Mitchum himself was in his late 20s when he played this role, so when he describes these fallen "kids," the irony breaks your heart.
		Mitchum is best known for the dangerous characters he played in movies like Cape Fear (his performance as the pathologically vengeful Max Cady justifies the existence of this unsavory and vastly overrated thriller) and The Night of the Hunter, and God knows he was terrifying in these parts.

		Mitchum was tempermental and could be rude or violent with people who annoyed him--and he could be a mean drunk.
		Mitchum sister gives insights to the side of Mitchum most people don't know about, the intelligent curious young man who wrote poems and song lyrics and this is one of the things I love about the portrait that is painted of Mitchum in this book.
