Thunder Road

August 13th, 2015 at 06:11 pm

I watched the movie "Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum, last night.
Trivia question?
Who was supposed to play Robert Mitchum's younger brother in the movie?
(don't cheat and look it up)

Who actually played the younger brother? (That one is easy if you ever saw the movie) (First question is the hardest)

    I've never seen the movie. But I'm going to guess that one of the answers is Elvis!

    You know me well! Yes, the part was written for Elvis, and he wanted to play the part, but Col. Parker would not let him.
    Instead, Robert Mitchum's son, who looked just like him, just younger version, played the part of his younger brother.

    Wow, I knew it was someone related to Robert Mitchum (thought maybe his real life brother) but I had no idea Elvis was up for it!

    He didn't get much practice with "real" acting but showed some promise in some of his roles...I wish he'd done more "serious" movies. (Much as I love some of the goofy ones like Viva Las Vegas.)
