Robert Mitchum by Lee Server
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
This is a well-written biography; a page-turner.

Mitchum comes off as a fascinating, self-destructive individual and, frankly, not very likable.

How accurate is this portrait?

One can't be sure.
