Continuing his series on lost classics, FMV Magazine's Jonathon Dabell takes a look at forgotten John Huston masterpiece Heaven Knows Mr Allison, starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr.
The title of Lee Server’s acclaimed 2002 biography, Robert Mitchum: Baby I Don’t Care (MacMillan), offers a perfect encapsulation of the eponymous actor: a hard-partying Hollywood Bad Boy who didn’t give a damn what moralizing finger-waggers thought of him.
OMG! For this movie to just suddenly show up here when it just happens to be in the top ten of my favorite old classics. I just happen to have this one. It's a beautiful story and it is one of the best ever. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it and never tire of it.
