Stewart & Mitchum: The Two Faces of America

2017 · 57 min · ★ 6.0 · Documentary, TV Movie

Behind his legendary nonchalance, Robert Mitchum is the figure of the bad boy, the kind-hearted hooligan who anyone would like to have for accomplice. What is the legacy left by these two big myths of the Hollywood cinema and in which way they fed the American dream?
