NEVADA Free Full Robert Mitchum Western Movie in HD! WORD'S WAYBACK! WOW!

Описание: When 27-year-old Robert Mitchum was introduced as “Bob Mitchum” in his first starring role, Zane Grey’s NEVADA in 1944, a Hollywood Star was born.

In 1943 Mitchum appeared in 20 movies, beginning with his first credited role, a very small part as a gang member in HOPPY SERVES A WRIT (available to see in 4K in our A WORD ON WESTERNS Hopalong Cassidy Playlist). Mitchum went on to make an additional 6 Hopalong Cassidy movies, working his way up from “henchman” and ending up with a sizable role as a good guy.

Robert Mitchum was spotted in the Hoppy movies by RKO and tapped to take over Tim Holt’s B western series when Holt joined the army. Joining Mitchum in the launch of a new series was Holt’s regular sidekick, Richard Martin as Chito. Maybe because Mitch was still untried as a lead, a second sidekick was added, Guinn “Big Boy” Williams as Dusty. The leading lady was beautiful Anne Jeffreys who had just finished a series of B westerns with Wild Bill Elliott. Anne arrives on a runaway wagon of women and is helped by Mitchum. The pace is fast as Mitch wins big from a crooked gambler and gets falsely accused of murder. Soon he and his two saddle pals are on the run. NEVADA delivers lots of fast riding, shootin’ and laughs. I noticed Fred Graham doubling bad guy Harry Woods in a fight with Mitchum. Like most of the Tim Holt westerns, NEVADA is beautifully shot in Lone Pine and the nearby Alabama Hills.

Ben Johnson was the stunt double for Robert Mitchum in this film. His career would soon be on the rise as well. Ben would later receive a Best Supporting Academy Award for his work in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. It's a prize that Mitch never received for his film work...although he certainly deserved one.

Of course, it’s Robert Mitchum that makes this such a watchable B western. Even at this early stage in his career, he’s so relaxed and natural in the role that it’s too bad he only made one more B western, WEST OF THE PECOS, before graduating to A movies and a long and successful career as one of Hollywood’s true legends.
