Robert Charles Durman Mitchum (August 6, 1917 – July 1, 1997) was an American film actor, director, author, composer, and singer. Mitchum rose to prominence for his starring roles in several classic films noir, and is generally considered a forerunner of the anti-heroes prevalent in film during the 1950s and 1960s. His best-known films include The Story of G.I. Joe (1945), Crossfire (1947), Out of the Past (1947), The Night of the Hunter (1955), The Enemy Below (1957), Cape Fear (1962), and El Dorado (1966).
Mitchum is rated #23 on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest male stars of Classic American Cinema.
Mitchum was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut into a Methodist family. His mother, Ann Harriet Gunderson, was a Norwegian immigrant and sea captain's daughter; his father, James Thomas Mitchum, of Scots-Ulster descent, was a shipyard and railroad worker. A sister, Annette, (known as Julie Mitchum during her acting career) was born in 1914. James Mitchum was crushed to death in a railyard accident in Charleston, South Carolina, in February 1919, when his son was less than two years old. After his father's death, his mother was awarded a government pension, and soon realized she was pregnant with her second son, John, who was born in September. She remarried to a former Royal Naval Reserve officer, Lieutenant Hugh Cunningham Morris RNVR, who helped her care for the children. Ann and the Major had a daughter, Carol Morris, who was born July 1927 on the family farm in Delaware. When all of the children were old enough to attend school, Ann found employment as a linotype operator for the Bridgeport Post.

Another great John Wayne movie!
the tender grass of spring time
rose to grain with summer's heat
the orchard blossoms ripen
into fruit so round and sweet
as with nature in her garden
so it is with all and one
love may blossom in the spring time
but it blooms with summer sun
as with nature in her garden
full with light the days are long
softly evenings pass together
as we sing a summer song
a vinyards fragrant blossoms
swell with grape on summer vines
is the choice of sweetest juices
for a rich and warming wine
as with nature in her garden
so it is with all and one
love may blossom in the spring time
but it blooms with summer sun
as with nature in her garden
full with light the days are long
softly evenings pass together
as we sing a summer song
as with nature in her garden
full with light the days are long
softly evenings pass together
