Page "Robert Mitchum" Paragraph 6

Mitchum was initially known for his work in film noir.

His first foray into the genre was a supporting role in the B-film When Strangers Marry, about newlyweds and a New York City serial killer.

Undercurrent, another of Mitchum's early noirs, featured him playing against type as a troubled, sensitive man entangled in the affairs of his brother ( Robert Taylor ) and his brother's suspicious wife ( Katharine Hepburn ).

The film was director Vincente Minnelli's only film noir.
