"just tell me the story, I'm from Brooklyn" I cracked up at that line and the way you said it 🤣 this looks like a terrific film. As always, Steve, terrific review. 🎭
Any day Steve does Susan Hayward is a great day. This is a great movie as well, with everyone at his or her best. I recently met a former rodeo rider, and judging by the stories he had, he definitely backed up the film's depiction of riding as a very dangerous sport that kicks the hell out of the those brave enough to take it on (I passed my DVD copy of the movie on to him later).
YUP! Nick Ray really caught the atmsophere and he had the right actors to fill in the details. Mitchum is so great in this. So laid back, world waery and always so sexy. And Susan is a feisty match for him. Arthur Kennedy is so wonderful letting you see so many different and difficult sides to the husband. And Arthur Hunnicuit is like the Thelma Ritter of westerns. Great comic relief. I love this fim. Steve
For my money THE LUSTY MEN is Nicholas Ray's best film, (topping even IN A LONELY PLACE), and to top that off, your review is as entertaining as the first-rate performances of MItchum, Hayward and Kennedy! Keep up the good work. Hopefully Warner Archive will put this one out soon as part of their outstanding blu-ray collection.
Yes! The cinematography is first rate, puytting right on the back of the bulls. So exciting! Thanks for the lovely compliment. It's very appreciated! Steve
Steve, dear, what TOQ could resist a movie titled, "lusty Men". I mean, it has that "certain exotic appeal". But seriously, I always appreciate much depth about the actors, production values, and the characters you can get into a handful of minutes. It shows you really know your stuff. I feel so rounded out by the end of your presentations. Your passion for these great films comes through. You're doing a lot of good in sharing that contagious enthusiasm. that's why you're such a dear, Steve.
Oh my Gosh! You made the TOQ blush a bit! Thank you so uch for the lovely comments and as you say...who can resist "Lusty Men'? ....Except maybe Susan when she get's her dander up! LOL! SO appreciate you wrting & watching! Best; Steve
steve theres something ridiculous about your channel. its ridiculous that you dont have at least a million subscribers. whenever im down you lift me up. thanks( for the memories )
Thanks, Steve -- you did it again...another film I'd never heard of that seems fun. I worked at Paramount when they were shooting THE WINDS OF WAR with Robert Mitchum, Jan-Michael Vincent (constantly shirtless), and Ali McGraw (constantly blowing her lines). Mitchum seemed constantly bored with the whole damn thing. 😅
He was so laconic and loved to seem indifferent about everything. Charles Laughton said it was all an act and that in reality, nobody cared more than he did. He has an underlying naturalism that I find so appealing. "Baby, I Don't Care" Classic.
You are my Queen 💘! Thanks so much for all of your cinematic insight. Mitchum and Hayward.... Ahhh, Yes! Much peace and Love to you and everyone at TOQ. 😍
Susan Hayward may not be as well known today as other great actresses, but when given a good role there was no one better. She always brought an earthiness and sincerity to her performances. True class act.
Somehow, I've never heard of this picture 'til now...thanks for making me aware of it and for the terrific review. Love the stories you relate about individuals and the production as a whole...they add so much! You're the best...can't wait for your next review!! 😀
I just wanted to say how very much I love TOQ. I have viewed all the videos up to latest one. An enthusiastic cinefile of many years now I am familiar with most of the films you have discussed, however, a number have past me by, for that many thanks, and I really enjoy the detail and knowledge you have for the works I know. I look forward to the next one. Xxx
My mother's favorite actress was Hayward. I have such fond memories when she would take me to the old movie theater where we saw so many of Hayward's most famous movies. Thanks for making me think of my beautiful mother and her fondness for Hayward. Your videos are always great.
Your mother and I share the same opinion of Susan. I watched and still watch her in anything. Tough & tender. She broke my heart with a look. I'm so glad you shared these movie experiences with your mother. I remember my mother taking my sister and I to see "South Pacific" one Easter Sunday. I was twice as excited to see it because she was. Wonderful memories. Thanks for watching! Steve
It's a really good one,, Steve! I love it! The best is always your commentary, thank you! Susan was such a great woman. Have a wonderful week, everyone at the TOQ.

Steve as a fabulous review. Ive just been on a Rogers and Hammerstien youtube rabbit hole binge and was overawed by how incredible the dance number was for June is Busting Out all Over - and thought to myself Tired Old Queen MUST have a review of that but so far I cant find anything. - its it time for another musical review with June a mere couple of months away - thank you for all you do its such a delight and pleasure to watch your incredible reviews here in steamy Malaysia even if I dont get chance to actually watch all the movies I do get a great deal of satisfaction from your appraisal and all the wonderful anecdotes and impersonations. Your Bette Davis is flawless always leaves me gagging for more - well not literally but you get what I mean. Love to you and all your subscribers
I had a feeling that you’d get around to this one! Saw it last year and loved it. Thought you might call out Susan’s “frying all men in deep fat!” line (or whatever it was)!
“I want to live!”... for the lusty men. Gloria Graham’s marriage is film worthy. There was a film about her later life in the U.K. I’m all over the place. Anyway, anything with Helen Lawson/Susan Hayward is a must see. “Look buster” thanks for your film thoughts.
Always bursting with good vibrations and a lovely attitude. Great review! Thank you soooo much! Watching the movies recommended by you and recalling your comments is a wonderful experience.
So glad you picked this great criminally underknown mini masterpiece to shine some light on!! To me this is Mitchum's best performance, yes even more than Night of the Hunter. Don't get me wrong he's brilliant in Hunter but that's a flashy role with lots of flourish, this movie is all about nuance and he delivers in spades. It kills me he wasn't Oscar nominated, I think this is where he should have won. He's matched every step of the way by both Susan and Arthur Kennedy (both also nomination worthy-I know Susie was up for With a Song in My Heart this year and I love that film and her work therein but she's equally good in this). All three share great chemistry with each other in each of their individual pairings and when the three share scenes. As great as all the performances are the picture itself is very strong, evoking the grit and hardships that the rodeo circuit dishes out. Just a fascinating picture.
You're absolutely right! Mitchum was always seriously neglected by the Academy. Not even a Special Oscar! He is so believable as the broken down bull rider. World weary and yet, always a little eager to get back in the game. Nick Ray had the perfect cast for this, it really delivers! Thanks for watchingh! Steve
I found a biography of Susan Hayward's in my grandmother's book collection that my mother got after Grandma passed. My guess is that Susan Hayward was one of her favorites. I do wish I had gotten into the classics sooner, so I could have talked to her about Susan. As for the movie, it's wonderful! If only it would go back into print...
Well, Susan has always been my favorite actress since watching her big 20th Century Fox epics from the "50's on TV as a child. I love her feisty, toughness and beauty. I recommend : " I'll C ry Tomorrow", "My Foolsih Heart", "Untamed" & "Rawhide" w/ Tyropne Power, , " The President's Lady" w/ Charlton Heston), "White Witch Doctor" w/ Robert Mitchum, "Garden Of Evil " w/ Gary Cooper, " "I Can Get It For You Wholesale", " Back Street" and her Oscar winner " I Want To LIve". VIVA SUSAN! S Thanks so much for watching! Steve
@@elizabethj8510 YUP! My absolute favorite program during the '60's...with the execption of "Burke's Law", which had all the old movie stars as guests that I recognized from "Saturday Night at the Movies! Such fun!
Steve, another great review. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this film before considering I'm a Mitchum fan. Susan Hayworth was a major star that is hardly mentioned anymore, she played many strong women in cinema. One of the things I like about RKO films of that area is that have a bit of the indie flavor. Years later when DIck Cavett interviewed Mitchum on his show, his iconoclastic personality was on full display, a real character.
You really come up with some interesting surprises. I don't really know Susan Hayward beyond I Want to Live and Qith a Sing in My Heart. I'll be glad to try this.
Oh, her other films are wonderful and varied. Here are a few of my favorites " I Can Get It For You Wholesale", " My Foolsih Heart", "Garden Of Evil", "Back Street", "Demetrius and the Gladiators", "Untamed", "White Witch Doctor" and especially; " I'll Cry Tomorrow." VIVA SUE! Thanks for watching! Steve
While we're on the subject of Brooklyn, i can't wait until you review of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", the first feature directed by Elia Kazan. Ted Donaldson, who portrayed Neely Nolan, just passed away. One of my favourite films.
Without your advice I do not think I would ever have watched a film which had to do with the world of rodeo and I would have missed something. You are quite right it is fascinating. As for the reviews themselves, they sound better and better, thank you very much indeed.
No! darn it! Bet that was fun! Congo Maisie is a remake of "red Dust" w/ Gable and Harlow, which was then remade as "Mogambo" w/ Gable and Ava Gardner. If it worked the first time....
I am from Europe, France, and "The lusty men" is regarded as a true classic, even cult movie in Europe....Loved your review of it, congrats.I love Susan Hayward...my all time favourite Hollywood actress.!...Love her acting, her unique face, that red hair, her voice....She was ne of the biggest female stars of the golden age of Holllywood and a top box office superstar worldwide too! Steve, why isn't Susan better remembered today according to you? What happenend to her legend? Why is she nowadays neglected when they talk about the great Hollywood actresses? I really don't understand....She should always be named among the greatest ones for me and one of the most beautiful female stars at the same time with that incredible face of hers...So what's the problem with the legacy of la Hayward according to you.!?
I have always loved her and agree completely with everything you wrote. The french loved her. She was a huge hit at Canne in 1955 , when she won the Best Actyress Award for I'll Cry Tomorrow". I really can't put my finger on why she hasn't lasted. . William Holden as well. Both were top stars of the '50;s and both dreadully underappreciated. Here's what I know, Susan didn't "play the game" that much. She was very touchy, extremely private and at times difficult. . She was very nearsighted and because she hated wearing her glasses in public, people often mistook her for being a snob, when she really couldn't see them. She had a rough, poverty stricken childhood and fought hard to get where she was. She didn't have much of a sense of humor about herself, hated giving interviews and could be very protective of her twin boys. She very rarely became close friends with anyone she worked with, especially women.. I had dinner once with Marsha Hunt, with whom she starred and has that incredible cat fight scene in " Smash-up" The Story Of A Woman" I asked her what Susan was like and she dsiad she really couldn't say. She worked hard, was proffesssional, but after every take she went directly to her dressingroom and closed the door until they came to get her for the next take. And that was the norm with her. She had a messy divorce, and a sucide attempt, which was splashed across the headlines and the press had a fileld day with. But not that many of her films are considered classics over here. To ne she ranks up there with Davis, Stanwyck, Crawford and Hepburn. So, I tend to do as many of her films as I can. I especially love the big , Technicolor epics she did at Fox in the '50's. " White Witch Doctor", "Untamed", " gardenb Of Evil" and " Demetrius and the Gladiators" and " With A Song In My Heart". They're not the ones she was nominated for, except for the last one, but she looked great in color and she got to be at her feisty, no-nonsense best. Happy Holidays! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ , Thanks Steve for your reply....Let's all remember Susan Hayward and talk of her as often as possible then so that younger generations may experience her unique screen presence....A movie history without recording Susan would be wrong! I watched your other reviews of her films and loved them. I hear and see on your face that you really like her...Great! I understand from your answer that she did not make a lot of friends in Hollywood...Maybe this is a major reason why people do not remember her in the film business...and do not talk about her ...Yet what a career and achievements...And worldwide box office glory from the late 1940's to the late 1960's in leading roles. In Europe , several films of hers are regarded as classics: I want to live, The lusty men, House of Strangers, Canyon passage, Garden of Evil, I married a witch, Beau Geste, I'll cry tomorrow, Rawhide...
I like the scene where Mitchum goes into the trailer for the first time, and Susan Hayward's character is in the shower. But he is expecting the other girl (oy vey...what's her name..)..And his reaction when he realizes it's not who he thought... (7:33) BTW That's Jimmy Dodd ( later on in, "M-i-c-k-e-y-, M-o-u-s-e.."
I love Jimmy Dodd! 🥰Even as a kid when I watched "Mickey Mouse Club", I always though he was " boy next door sexy". I know, I know....but once a TOQ....Thanks for watching! Steve
By coincidence just finished watching this film on local telly. Was everything you said it was, less the amusing inside baseball and backstory provided by you, making this review aces with me, and one for the winner's circle. Much obliged, pardner.
My pleasure, Pilgrim...as Duke Wayne would say. I love the Mitchum/Hayward combination. He was the perfect leading man for her. Happy Holidays & See You Around the Campire.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I must be blind because I looked. Definitely watching that today. Love all the Joan Crawford movie reviews! Keep up the great videos Steve.
Hi Steve very interesting selection I have always enjoyed this movie and what a cast especially Mitchum and Hayward totally watchable in most films . Here an interesting bit of trivia I have another film from 1960 made by a company called Howco called Thunder In Carolina starring Rory Calhoun Connie Hines and Alan Hale Jr and it is a complete remake of the Lusty Men . This time though The Mitchum part is played by Rory Calhoun as a broken down stock car racer who teaches the young race driver Race Gentry the tricks of the trade much to his young wife’s disapproval. Alan Hale Jr plays the Arthur Hunnicut role it is a pretty good movie although not in the same league as the Mitchum film and there a nice colour copy on you tube. Great to see you back Steve you never disappoint cheers Carl .
Wow! I had no idea about "Thunder In Carolina"! I'll have to check it out. It's always interesting tyo me when the re-do movies in different settings or genres. One of my favorites is "House Of Strangers" , a family gangster film based on "King Lear", which was remade several times, one of which " Broken Lance" a family saga/ western which also won the Best Screenplay Oscar. And THAT's Hollywood! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thank you Steve I have not seen House Of Strangers but will check it out as I do enjoy Broken Lance also a magnificent cast and didn’t even know it was a remake in western form all the very best cheers Carl .
If you can find it. watch im "Howard Hak's wetsren " The Big Sky" for which he recieved his only Oscar nomination. It's a wonderful western and quite unusual. Steve
You definitely should review Johnny Guitar. Joan is incredible in that one. Nick Ray I like much more as I get older. His great films are uniquely his.
I appeared on their 20th anniversary back in 2014 and introduced "THEM!" w/ Robert Osborne. I enjoyed it, they know who I am, but nothing further came of it, so.... Thanks for watching! Steve
7:31 That's head Mouseketeer Jimmie Dodd. "The Lusty Men" is a gem of a movie.🐃 Thanks for sharing this film with your enthusiastic followers Now do Ray Milland & Ruth Hussey in "The Uninvited." 👻
Thank you for, once again, expanding my cinematic vocabulary. don't know this one but will certainly watch it. Mitchum was a far more versatile actor than the "bad boy' persona he helped create. just look at his sensitive portrayal as the village teacher in David Lean's criminally neglected 'Ryan's Daughter' (some beach scenes filmed not far from where I live) ... best wishes. Michael - South Africa.
I totally agree with you on all counts. "Ryan's Daughter" has long been my favorite of the big David Lean epics and it's Mitchum's heart wrentching performance that is the glue. He should have been nominated for it. You live in a breathtaking area. I'm so excited to have a friend in South Afdrica! Thanks for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ In this, we are on the same page. I love David Lean and feel when you follow the path of his films,, from the early Dickens adaptations to films like "Summertime' and the hauntingly beautiful "Brief Encounter" (I hope to pick your brain on that one day as it's generally felt it has a sad ending with two lovers not "getting together"" but I feel Lean encoded two endings for the story, one happy and one sad ...), and then followed those breathtaking epics, they were all, in fact, building up into the creation of his ultimate masterpiece and one of the great films of the 20rth century 'Ryan's Daughter" It's cinematic poetry to rival the great poets like Byron or Emily Bronte. it's on par with great classical cornerstones like Beethoven's 9th or Handel's MESSIAH, it's just heartbreaking that critics, who should know better don't see this. Mitchum should have been nominated; I agree. You have a friend and a great admirer living 45 minutes from Cape Town,. considered as one of the most beautiful cities in the world whose home will always be open to you and yours. I love hosting people from overseas and showing them the beautiful cape. It's like seeing it anew through their eyes. Thank you for your wonderful channel and thanks to everyone behind the scenes. it's truly greatly appreciated. Michael - (Wellington) South Africa.
@@thelookuplookdown Dear Michael; If I'm ever there, I will be sure to contact you so I can see it through your eyes! As for "Brief Encounter", I don't think it would have had the impact it did without the unhappy ending. For many people, life is about compromise and that's what this is all about. Yes, it was a different generation with adults who were raised by the Victorian standards of their parents about right and wrong and a stiff upper lip. Britain, at that time, recovering fro the war, needed to see that people still up held the vaklued traditions, right or wrong as they might be. Returning soldiers needed to find a home that was still the same, safe and a spouse who'd been faithful, regardless of weather or not it had anything to do with reality. Lean and Coward knew that and Coward, being was to Churchill, the Royal family and was ever mindful of upholding their standards. I think it's such a brave film for the time, not unlike "Now, Voyager". Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I agree completely with your assessment, and my happy/sad ending comment was about the two main characters. Once, when I watched it, I noticed some odd moments specifically with the Female character. Lean would shoot her most cinematically, one scene with Trevor Howard through a Pane of glass in a door, framing them like a cinema screen. Her daydreaming of them waltzing in Vienna, even her 'suicide' is from Anna Karenina (she does not go through with it), but when it comes to the 'crunch' of sleeping with him, yes British morality comes into play, but I believe she saw the whole thing as her weekly cinema excursions, as a cinematic fantasy come to life, it will shatter that illusion, and she flees. For her, their parting is a relief (the fantasy safe), but for him sad, as it was all real for him. I may be wrong, but when you watch it again, look at it from that perspective. Just a thought. Don't you just love cinema. Michael - SA
@@thelookuplookdown I will do that and I think youy're right. And yes, the moviers have been my mainstay all my life. I never get tired of watching them, repaetedly, and I always watch them from a different perspective, discovering somewthing new with each viewing.
Thanks for the G rating review, Steve. I want a for adults only Robert Mitchum sweaty review. La HAYWARD was butcher than all of them. You're looking mighty fine Stevo...
Exactly. It took the right vehicle to push them over the top. and the right connections. For Holden, it was Billy Wilder and "Sunset Blvd" for Hayward it was producer Walter Wanger, who promised that if she signed with him, he'd design vehicles tailored to her and make her a star and that's what he did. She eventually paid him back by accepting " I Want To Live", without having read a word of the script. It was the first project he produced after he did a streatch in prison in the mid-50's for shooting agent Jennings Lang, his wife, Joan Bennett's lover, in the groin. Yikes.
Me too. I have to watch everything Gloria did. Here's a few favorites off the beaten path; " "The Cobweb", "The Glass Wall" , "Naked Alibi", "Human Desire" & "Not As A Stranger". My all time favorite is " The Greatest Sghow On Earth" , which I watched as I sat behind her at Radio City Music Hall back in the late '70's. it was TOQ at the Movies HEAVEN!!! Although...I'll watch her in anything. Steve
Speaking of Susan Hayward would you ever do a video on "Valley of the Dolls?". I always felt like that is one of those movies that is just unfairly maligned. Patty Duke always said that she thought her acting was awful in the movie but I always thought she was great and people didn't like it because she made them uncomfortable. If Patty Duke had done the same performance in the 70s she would have gotten the praise she deserved. Also I think the book is unfairly maligned. I think "Valley of the Dolls" is the Yin and "Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas" in the Yang in showing the ugly sides of American Culture.
I agree with you! I love "Valley Of The Dolls" and I love Susan in it! " I know awll about runna the play contracts!" I think Patty did what she was given beautifully. I think she suffered at the hands of a cruel director. As for doing a TOQ episode...stick around. You never know. Thanks so much for the comment/reminder and for watching . Best Wishes; Steve
@Steve Hayes Thank you, and yes that director was a straight up awful person. Patty Duke later said that she thinks the director never intended to actually put Judy Garland in the movie but "cast" her for the publicity that would come from hiring her and then firing her. Duke basically said that everybody knew Judy had issues but Judy showed up to the set totally sober. According to Duke the director made Judy wait around for hours until Judy would eventually start drinking and/or taking pills so that when they put her infront of the camera she'd be completely out of it and the director would have an excuse to fire her. Of all the abuse Judy Garland had to go through, I personally think this is the most despicable. If what Patty Duke says is true and I think it is, there is a special place in Hell for that director.

I had a feeling that you’d get around to this one! Saw it last year and loved it. Thought you might call out Susan’s “frying all men in deep fat!” line (or whatever it was)!
There were so many to choose from. Love her! Steve
"I love the Lusty Men." Hits pause to giggle like mad. 😂
Thanks, so much! Made my day!
Great to see you both! I'm a new subscriber. I've been enjoying your extensive library. The Best!!
Hooray! Delighted to welcome you on board! Thanks for subscribing! Best Wishes; Steve & Johnny!
Thanks, Steve. Great review, as always. Didn't know it was Nicholas Ray... now I have to watch it!
He directed so many wonderful films and they were so diverse. Thanks so much! Steve
i love the way you take your viewer on a joyride, fueled by their dad's credit card, of the past, things otherwise forgotten?.....
Well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Thanks for watching! Steve
Good one, Steve! Solid.
Thanks, Buddy! I hope all is well, busy and happy with you! OXOXOX Steve
“I want to live!”... for the lusty men. Gloria Graham’s marriage is film worthy. There was a film about her later life in the U.K. I’m all over the place. Anyway, anything with Helen Lawson/Susan Hayward is a must see. “Look buster” thanks for your film thoughts.
You are talking to one of the all- time biggest Susan Hayward fans! VIVA SUE! Thanks for watching! Steve
Always bursting with good vibrations and a lovely attitude. Great review! Thank you soooo much! Watching the movies recommended by you and recalling your comments is a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much! You made my day! Steve
Yay! Another video :) Love you guys.
SO glad!!! Stee
As always, love what you do.
I'm so glad! Mission accomplished!
welcome back Steve and Johnnie! It's been too long. How about "McCabe and Mrs. Miller"? Or "Great Northfield Minnesota Raid"?
I'll put them on my " tod do" list! Thanks for watching! Steve
Love it! ❤ More Tired Old Queen
Stick with me, many more to come! Steve
Aah susan hayward. I missed this one. STEVE convinced me to find this rodeo yarn.
Susan and "Mitch" are terrific together.
So glad you picked this great criminally underknown mini masterpiece to shine some light on!!
To me this is Mitchum's best performance, yes even more than Night of the Hunter. Don't get me wrong he's brilliant in Hunter but that's a flashy role with lots of flourish, this movie is all about nuance and he delivers in spades. It kills me he wasn't Oscar nominated, I think this is where he should have won.
He's matched every step of the way by both Susan and Arthur Kennedy (both also nomination worthy-I know Susie was up for With a Song in My Heart this year and I love that film and her work therein but she's equally good in this). All three share great chemistry with each other in each of their individual pairings and when the three share scenes.
As great as all the performances are the picture itself is very strong, evoking the grit and hardships that the rodeo circuit dishes out. Just a fascinating picture.
You're absolutely right! Mitchum was always seriously neglected by the Academy. Not even a Special Oscar! He is so believable as the broken down bull rider. World weary and yet, always a little eager to get back in the game. Nick Ray had the perfect cast for this, it really delivers! Thanks for watchingh! Steve
I found a biography of Susan Hayward's in my grandmother's book collection that my mother got after Grandma passed. My guess is that Susan Hayward was one of her favorites. I do wish I had gotten into the classics sooner, so I could have talked to her about Susan.
As for the movie, it's wonderful! If only it would go back into print...
Well, Susan has always been my favorite actress since watching her big 20th Century Fox epics from the "50's on TV as a child. I love her feisty, toughness and beauty. I recommend : " I'll C ry Tomorrow", "My Foolsih Heart", "Untamed" & "Rawhide" w/ Tyropne Power, , " The President's Lady" w/ Charlton Heston), "White Witch Doctor" w/ Robert Mitchum, "Garden Of Evil " w/ Gary Cooper, " "I Can Get It For You Wholesale", " Back Street" and her Oscar winner " I Want To LIve". VIVA SUSAN! S Thanks so much for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Most of them on NBC Saturday Night at the Movies!
@@elizabethj8510 YUP! My absolute favorite program during the '60's...with the execption of "Burke's Law", which had all the old movie stars as guests that I recognized from "Saturday Night at the Movies! Such fun!
Steve, another great review. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this film before considering I'm a Mitchum fan. Susan Hayworth was a major star that is hardly mentioned anymore, she played many strong women in cinema. One of the things I like about RKO films of that area is that have a bit of the indie flavor. Years later when DIck Cavett interviewed Mitchum on his show, his iconoclastic personality was on full display, a real character.
Yup. I loved him and Hayward together. I agree with the your take on the RKO films of the period as well.
So butch! You make me wanna watch it Stevie. Honeycutt was in a beautiful Twilight Zone, The Hunt, by Earl Hamner.
He's also amazing in Howard Hawk's " The Big Sky" ('52), which got him an Oscar nomination. Steve
Can't wait to watch you analyze Butterfield 8 and Elmer gantry
Stick around. Steve
You really come up with some interesting surprises. I don't really know Susan Hayward beyond I Want to Live and Qith a Sing in My Heart. I'll be glad to try this.
Oh, her other films are wonderful and varied. Here are a few of my favorites " I Can Get It For You Wholesale", " My Foolsih Heart", "Garden Of Evil", "Back Street", "Demetrius and the Gladiators", "Untamed", "White Witch Doctor" and especially; " I'll Cry Tomorrow." VIVA SUE! Thanks for watching! Steve
While we're on the subject of Brooklyn, i can't wait until you review of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", the first feature directed by Elia Kazan. Ted Donaldson, who portrayed Neely Nolan, just passed away. One of my favourite films.
I like it too and I always thought Joan Blondell was robber of an Oscar nomination for "Aunt Sissie" .
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ 💯
Without your advice I do not think I would ever have watched a film which had to do with the world of rodeo and I would have missed something. You are quite right it is fascinating. As for the reviews themselves, they sound better and better, thank you very much indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! best; Steve
Mitchum was a 'mystery guest' on WHAT'S MY LINE? in 1957 and 1965.
If I'd been on the panel, I'd have fainted....just sayin'...
Big fan! Did you see that TCM had an Ann Sothern/“Maisie” marathon over the weekend?
No! darn it! Bet that was fun! Congo Maisie is a remake of "red Dust" w/ Gable and Harlow, which was then remade as "Mogambo" w/ Gable and Ava Gardner. If it worked the first time....
You should do a Q&A, Steve...
Greets.
Thanks for the suggestion, Buddy! Steve
I am from Europe, France, and "The lusty men" is regarded as a true classic, even cult movie in Europe....Loved your review of it, congrats.I love Susan Hayward...my all time favourite Hollywood actress.!...Love her acting, her unique face, that red hair, her voice....She was ne of the biggest female stars of the golden age of Holllywood and a top box office superstar worldwide too!
Steve, why isn't Susan better remembered today according to you? What happenend to her legend? Why is she nowadays neglected when they talk about the great Hollywood actresses? I really don't understand....She should always be named among the greatest ones for me and one of the most beautiful female stars at the same time with that incredible face of hers...So what's the problem with the legacy of la Hayward according to you.!?
I have always loved her and agree completely with everything you wrote. The french loved her. She was a huge hit at Canne in 1955 , when she won the Best Actyress Award for I'll Cry Tomorrow". I really can't put my finger on why she hasn't lasted. . William Holden as well. Both were top stars of the '50;s and both dreadully underappreciated. Here's what I know, Susan didn't "play the game" that much. She was very touchy, extremely private and at times difficult. . She was very nearsighted and because she hated wearing her glasses in public, people often mistook her for being a snob, when she really couldn't see them. She had a rough, poverty stricken childhood and fought hard to get where she was. She didn't have much of a sense of humor about herself, hated giving interviews and could be very protective of her twin boys. She very rarely became close friends with anyone she worked with, especially women.. I had dinner once with Marsha Hunt, with whom she starred and has that incredible cat fight scene in " Smash-up" The Story Of A Woman" I asked her what Susan was like and she dsiad she really couldn't say. She worked hard, was proffesssional, but after every take she went directly to her dressingroom and closed the door until they came to get her for the next take. And that was the norm with her. She had a messy divorce, and a sucide attempt, which was splashed across the headlines and the press had a fileld day with. But not that many of her films are considered classics over here. To ne she ranks up there with Davis, Stanwyck, Crawford and Hepburn. So, I tend to do as many of her films as I can. I especially love the big , Technicolor epics she did at Fox in the '50's. " White Witch Doctor", "Untamed", " gardenb Of Evil" and " Demetrius and the Gladiators" and " With A Song In My Heart". They're not the ones she was nominated for, except for the last one, but she looked great in color and she got to be at her feisty, no-nonsense best. Happy Holidays! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ , Thanks Steve for your reply....Let's all remember Susan Hayward and talk of her as often as possible then so that younger generations may experience her unique screen presence....A movie history without recording Susan would be wrong!
I watched your other reviews of her films and loved them. I hear and see on your face that you really like her...Great!
I understand from your answer that she did not make a lot of friends in Hollywood...Maybe this is a major reason why people do not remember her in the film business...and do not talk about her ...Yet what a career and achievements...And worldwide box office glory from the late 1940's to the late 1960's in leading roles.
In Europe , several films of hers are regarded as classics: I want to live, The lusty men, House of Strangers, Canyon passage, Garden of Evil, I married a witch, Beau Geste, I'll cry tomorrow, Rawhide...
I like the scene where Mitchum goes into the trailer for the first time, and Susan Hayward's character is in the shower. But he is expecting the other girl (oy vey...what's her name..)..And his reaction when he realizes it's not who he thought... (7:33) BTW That's Jimmy Dodd ( later on in, "M-i-c-k-e-y-, M-o-u-s-e.."
I love Jimmy Dodd! 🥰Even as a kid when I watched "Mickey Mouse Club", I always though he was " boy next door sexy". I know, I know....but once a TOQ....Thanks for watching! Steve
By coincidence just finished watching this film on local telly. Was everything you said it was, less the amusing inside baseball and backstory provided by you, making this review aces with me, and one for the winner's circle.
Much obliged, pardner.
My pleasure, Pilgrim...as Duke Wayne would say. I love the Mitchum/Hayward combination. He was the perfect leading man for her. Happy Holidays & See You Around the Campire.
I'm not a Susan Hayward fan but when you imitate her, I like her more.
Great! Misson accomplished! Thanks for watching! Steve
Keep up the good work
I will if you'll keep watching! Thanks! Steve
For as long as I live. Can't stop

Hi Steve very interesting selection I have always enjoyed this movie and what a cast especially Mitchum and Hayward totally watchable in most films . Here an interesting bit of trivia I have another film from 1960 made by a company called Howco called Thunder In Carolina starring Rory Calhoun Connie Hines and Alan Hale Jr and it is a complete remake of the Lusty Men . This time though The Mitchum part is played by Rory Calhoun as a broken down stock car racer who teaches the young race driver Race Gentry the tricks of the trade much to his young wife’s disapproval. Alan Hale Jr plays the Arthur Hunnicut role it is a pretty good movie although not in the same league as the Mitchum film and there a nice colour copy on you tube. Great to see you back Steve you never disappoint cheers Carl .
Wow! I had no idea about "Thunder In Carolina"! I'll have to check it out. It's always interesting tyo me when the re-do movies in different settings or genres. One of my favorites is "House Of Strangers" , a family gangster film based on "King Lear", which was remade several times, one of which " Broken Lance" a family saga/ western which also won the Best Screenplay Oscar. And THAT's Hollywood! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thank you Steve I have not seen House Of Strangers but will check it out as I do enjoy Broken Lance also a magnificent cast and didn’t even know it was a remake in western form all the very best cheers Carl .
@@biggestliberacefan1988 "House Of Strangers" came first. He then kept adapting the fundimental plot to fit his needs. One plot fots all. LOL!
I love Arthur Hunnicutt's appearances in various TV series (Outer Limits, Andy Griffith, My Three Sons, and especially the Twilight Zone).
If you can find it. watch im "Howard Hak's wetsren " The Big Sky" for which he recieved his only Oscar nomination. It's a wonderful western and quite unusual. Steve
My favorite Robert Mitchum film is “ Heaven Knows Mr. Allison “. He plays a hot , handsome Marine, who protects Deborah Kerr playing a nun.
I like that one too. It's on my "To Do" list. Thanks for watching! Steve
Great review, Steve ! Will check out
the movie.
Greets, Tom, Belgium .
I think you will love it! Greets to you too and a big hug! Thanks for watching! Steve
I know the type....I once dated a guy from Brooklyn....hmmm....and great video...thank you!!!
Haven't we awall! Thnaks for watching! Steve
You definitely should review Johnny Guitar. Joan is incredible in that one. Nick Ray I like much more as I get older. His great films are uniquely his.
I totally agree and stick around...you may be in for a surprise.
hey steve have you ever thought of hosting for turner classic movies, I just love your commentary on these great old films.
I appeared on their 20th anniversary back in 2014 and introduced "THEM!" w/ Robert Osborne. I enjoyed it, they know who I am, but nothing further came of it, so.... Thanks for watching! Steve

Now do Ray Milland & Ruth Hussey in "The Uninvited." 👻
It's on my list...and I adore Jimmy Dodd. 🥰
@Steve Hayes He was the "Mr Rogers" of the 1950's Mickey Mouse Club. 🐭
@@debbabe2254 LOVE HIM! ' (SING) " Won't you be my neighbor? " LOL!
Nobody could say, "Look, bustah" with authority like Hayward or Stanwyck.
YUP! Perfect Brooklynese.
Thank you for, once again, expanding my cinematic vocabulary. don't know this one but will certainly watch it. Mitchum was a far more versatile actor than the "bad boy' persona he helped create. just look at his sensitive portrayal as the village teacher in David Lean's criminally neglected 'Ryan's Daughter' (some beach scenes filmed not far from where I live) ... best wishes. Michael - South Africa.
I totally agree with you on all counts. "Ryan's Daughter" has long been my favorite of the big David Lean epics and it's Mitchum's heart wrentching performance that is the glue. He should have been nominated for it. You live in a breathtaking area. I'm so excited to have a friend in South Afdrica! Thanks for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ In this, we are on the same page. I love David Lean and feel when you follow the path of his films,, from the early Dickens adaptations to films like "Summertime' and the hauntingly beautiful "Brief Encounter" (I hope to pick your brain on that one day as it's generally felt it has a sad ending with two lovers not "getting together"" but I feel Lean encoded two endings for the story, one happy and one sad ...), and then followed those breathtaking epics, they were all, in fact, building up into the creation of his ultimate masterpiece and one of the great films of the 20rth century 'Ryan's Daughter" It's cinematic poetry to rival the great poets like Byron or Emily Bronte. it's on par with great classical cornerstones like Beethoven's 9th or Handel's MESSIAH, it's just heartbreaking that critics, who should know better don't see this. Mitchum should have been nominated; I agree. You have a friend and a great admirer living 45 minutes from Cape Town,. considered as one of the most beautiful cities in the world whose home will always be open to you and yours. I love hosting people from overseas and showing them the beautiful cape. It's like seeing it anew through their eyes.
Thank you for your wonderful channel and thanks to everyone behind the scenes. it's truly greatly appreciated. Michael - (Wellington) South Africa.
@@thelookuplookdown Dear Michael; If I'm ever there, I will be sure to contact you so I can see it through your eyes! As for "Brief Encounter", I don't think it would have had the impact it did without the unhappy ending. For many people, life is about compromise and that's what this is all about. Yes, it was a different generation with adults who were raised by the Victorian standards of their parents about right and wrong and a stiff upper lip. Britain, at that time, recovering fro the war, needed to see that people still up held the vaklued traditions, right or wrong as they might be. Returning soldiers needed to find a home that was still the same, safe and a spouse who'd been faithful, regardless of weather or not it had anything to do with reality. Lean and Coward knew that and Coward, being was to Churchill, the Royal family and was ever mindful of upholding their standards. I think it's such a brave film for the time, not unlike "Now, Voyager". Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I agree completely with your assessment, and my happy/sad ending comment was about the two main characters. Once, when I watched it, I noticed some odd moments specifically with the Female character. Lean would shoot her most cinematically, one scene with Trevor Howard through a Pane of glass in a door, framing them like a cinema screen. Her daydreaming of them waltzing in Vienna, even her 'suicide' is from Anna Karenina (she does not go through with it), but when it comes to the 'crunch' of sleeping with him, yes British morality comes into play, but I believe she saw the whole thing as her weekly cinema excursions, as a cinematic fantasy come to life, it will shatter that illusion, and she flees. For her, their parting is a relief (the fantasy safe), but for him sad, as it was all real for him. I may be wrong, but when you watch it again, look at it from that perspective. Just a thought. Don't you just love cinema. Michael - SA
@@thelookuplookdown I will do that and I think youy're right. And yes, the moviers have been my mainstay all my life. I never get tired of watching them, repaetedly, and I always watch them from a different perspective, discovering somewthing new with each viewing.
Steve, regarding enlarging Susan Hayward’s part, I hope it wasn’t painful!
Not according to her director or her doctors. LOL!
Thanks for the G rating review, Steve. I want a for adults only Robert Mitchum sweaty review. La HAYWARD was butcher than all of them. You're looking mighty fine Stevo...
I think I look more and more like Margaret Rutherford...which ani't a bad thing...LOL! Many thanks; Steve
Did Hayward''s career evolve like Holden's career in that they were both around in the 1940's but really didn't come into their own until the 1950's?
Exactly. It took the right vehicle to push them over the top. and the right connections. For Holden, it was Billy Wilder and "Sunset Blvd" for Hayward it was producer Walter Wanger, who promised that if she signed with him, he'd design vehicles tailored to her and make her a star and that's what he did. She eventually paid him back by accepting " I Want To Live", without having read a word of the script. It was the first project he produced after he did a streatch in prison in the mid-50's for shooting agent Jennings Lang, his wife, Joan Bennett's lover, in the groin. Yikes.
The Lusty Men, what a great title! I loved In A Lonely Place, but it's pretty downbeat. Wish Graham had made more movies.
Me too. I have to watch everything Gloria did. Here's a few favorites off the beaten path; "
"The Cobweb", "The Glass Wall" , "Naked Alibi", "Human Desire" & "Not As A Stranger". My all time favorite is " The Greatest Sghow On Earth" , which I watched as I sat behind her at Radio City Music Hall back in the late '70's. it was TOQ at the Movies HEAVEN!!! Although...I'll watch her in anything. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thanks, I'll check those out.
💙💙
I love the team of Nick Ray. Bob Mitchum and Susan Hayward. Toughj and tenacious!
terrific movie, Mitchum was hot
He was the hottest. That laconic sexuality. Love him!
H.H. enlarged her part? They enlarged her part? LOL
Stop it.....🤭
Speaking of Susan Hayward would you ever do a video on "Valley of the Dolls?". I always felt like that is one of those movies that is just unfairly maligned.
Patty Duke always said that she thought her acting was awful in the movie but I always thought she was great and people didn't like it because she made them uncomfortable. If Patty Duke had done the same performance in the 70s she would have gotten the praise she deserved.
Also I think the book is unfairly maligned. I think "Valley of the Dolls" is the Yin and "Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas" in the Yang in showing the ugly sides of American Culture.
I agree with you! I love "Valley Of The Dolls" and I love Susan in it! " I know awll about runna the play contracts!" I think Patty did what she was given beautifully. I think she suffered at the hands of a cruel director. As for doing a TOQ episode...stick around. You never know. Thanks so much for the comment/reminder and for watching . Best Wishes; Steve
@Steve Hayes Thank you, and yes that director was a straight up awful person. Patty Duke later said that she thinks the director never intended to actually put Judy Garland in the movie but "cast" her for the publicity that would come from hiring her and then firing her. Duke basically said that everybody knew Judy had issues but Judy showed up to the set totally sober. According to Duke the director made Judy wait around for hours until Judy would eventually start drinking and/or taking pills so that when they put her infront of the camera she'd be completely out of it and the director would have an excuse to fire her.
Of all the abuse Judy Garland had to go through, I personally think this is the most despicable. If what Patty Duke says is true and I think it is, there is a special place in Hell for that director.
