Vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait in his prime, boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in the 1980s. In good condition and nice that he wrote out his full name, and not only "Bob Mitchum," as was his custom. In good condition. Rough and tough leading man Robert Mitchum excelled at conveying tremendous emotion beneath an air of cool disinterest. After his Oscar-nominated turn in Story of G.I. Joe (1945), he achieved icon status in noir, western and romance flicks of the 1940s and 1950s. Among his many classic film credits, he was unforgettable as two of the silver screen's most chilling psychopaths: Harry Powell in Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Max Cady in Cape Fear (1961).
