lavenderblue19 Posted November 6, 2011 Oh no! cujas this is painful, I'm getting a headache trying to remember. I heard this bit of trivia on TCM either from RO or Ben. It was quite awhile ago and I can't remember who they were now. UGHHH! Hope somebody gets this one soon.

metz44 Posted November 11, 2011 was it one of those imentioned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted November 12, 2011 Metz, *Macao* is right because the question was about the actor who defied Von Sternberg's ruling of no food on the set. The actor was, of course, Robert Mitchum, and Von Sternberg, not, Mitchum was replaced for the duration of the shooting. According to a TCM interview Mitchum had with Osborne, Nick Ray finished the picture with Ray, Mitchum and Russell supplying the final pages of dialogue. Metz, it's all yours-- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montagu Love twice. Douglass Dumbrille once. A stage actor who acted in silent pictures and shorts portrayed him 5 times.
