...volatile mood over such recent cases as that of Larry James Mitchell Holt, 24, who crumpled the fender of his red Dodge while fleeing (at an estimated 40 m.p.h.) from a pursuing police car.

Charles Laughton, who directed him in the picture, called Mitchum "one of the best actors in the world." The potential at least is there, and occasionally the taste. Mitchum pridefully insists that he will not make a picture merely for the money. He refused $500,000 to do Town Without Pity. When United Artists upped...
