With more than 100 credits to his name and at least a dozen masterful performances, Mitchum made acting look easy. At least, that’s what he told anyone who’d ask. One often-told story from the set of Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (1957) recounts … Continue reading Robert Mitchum

August 18, 2014November 14, 2021 Michael J. Casey

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way. Every film I make represents a departure for me. You see, it takes so long to make a film. By the time you … Continue reading Born On This Day — August 18, 1933

August 5, 2013December 9, 2021 Michael J. Casey

I have great admiration for Fellini and Bergman, who create their own films. But I’m eclectic. I like doing one thing very different from another. I don’t even recognize a style in my work. If there is a style, it’s … Continue reading In Their Words — Monday, August 5, 2013

To me the ideal film—which I’ve never succeeded in making—would be as though the reel were behind one’s eyes and you were projecting it yourself, seeing what you wish to see. This has a great deal in common with thought … Continue reading In Their Words — Sunday, March 17, 2013
