Doc - Robert Mitchum, le mauvais garçon d'Hollywood
Robert Mitchum, le mauvais garçon d'Hollywood
Année: 2017
Réalisation: Stéphane Benhamou
Pays: France, Arte / Lobster
Durée: 55 min
Par son naturel, le "bad boy" Robert Mitchum a conquis le public et les plus grands cinéastes, d'Otto Preminger à Vincente Minnelli en passant par Howard Hawks. Sans occulter ses frasques, ce séduisant portrait dévoile la sensibilité que l'acteur dissimulait sous sa désinvolture.
Retranscription des passages liés à Marilyn Monroe:
(à 08 min) - En mars 1940, il se marie avec Dorothy qui l'a rejoint à Los Angeles. Elle tombe enceinte, et Mitchum doit abandonner ses petits boulots et le théâtre pour trouver un emploi stable. Il est embauché à l'usine Lockheed. L'Amérique vient d'entrer en guerre et les cadences sont infernales sur les chaînes de fabrication de bombardiers. Il se lie avec un collègue, Jim Dougherty, tout juste marié à une jolie fille d'à peine 16 ans, Norma Jeane Baker. Ils sont loin d'imaginer, eux, les enfants de la crise qui peinent à boucler leurs fins de mois, qu'ils se retrouveront stars, douze ans plus tard, sur "Rivière sans retour".
(à 16 min) - Il préfère les soirées plus intimes. Comme celle où il est invité chez la jeune comédienne Lila Leeds. La soirée est brutalement interrompu par la police de Los Angeles, qui surprend les invités en train de fumer de la marijuana. Michum est embarqué dans une voiture de police. Et, chose étrange, la presse se bouscule déjà au commissariat où on le ramène avec les autres invités. Tout cela ressemble tellement à l'un de ces films noirs que Mitchum déclare aussitôt au Los Angeles Times qu'une arrestation pour usage de drogue, ça ruine une carrière. Il en a tellement tourné des histoires comme celle-ci où un soit-disant mauvais garçon paie pour les fautes des autres, qu'il est certain de l'issue de cette sale affaire. Son producteur et patron, Howard Hughes, est appelé au milieu de la nuit. On l'informe que sa jeune vedette risque jusqu'à six ans de prison. Il n'a pas échappé au procureur que Mitchum a déjà été condamné. Peu importe qu'il l'ait été seulement pour vagabondage quand il avait 16 ans. Hugues engage aussitôt le meilleur avocat de la ville, Jerry Giesler. Mitchum ne se fait guère d'illusion sur son sort. Au greffier, qui lui demande son métier, il répond "ancien acteur". Lors de son procès en février 1949, son avocat prouve qu'il a été victime d'une sombre histoire de chantage. Le juge accorde les circonstances atténuantes et Mitchum et Leeds sont condamnés à 60 jours de prison. Pour Lila Leeds, qui n'a encore qu'un statut de starlette, sa carrière va s'arrêter là. Et le film qu'elle tourne très rapidement pour raconter cette histoire sera son dernier.
(à 27 min) - Ceux qui travaillent avec lui savent très bien qu'il n'y a rien à gagner à le provoquer. Le réalisateur Otto Preminger va l'apprendre à ses dépends sur le tournage de "Un si doux visage". Mitchum doit donner une gifle à Jean Simmons, pour la sortir de sa torpeur. Mais Preminger ne trouve pas la scène assez convaincante. Il la fait refaire plusieurs fois. Il exige que Mitchum donne une gifle plus forte, et, encore plus forte, jusqu'au moment où Mitchum s'avance vers Preminger et lui envoie une énorme claque en lui demandant: "Et comme ça, c'est assez fort ?".
(...) Après avoir été giflé, Preminger demande à Howard Hugues le renvoie de Mitchum, qu'il n'obtient pas. Cela n'empêche pas de réclamer Mitchum pour son film suivant, une super production en technicolor. Mitchum retrouve une vieille connaissance, celle qu'on appelle maintenant Marilyn Monroe. Malgré son air indifférent, Mitchum est un partenaire précieux. Il dissuade sa vieille copine Marilyn de suivre les conseils de sa répétitrice. Juste avant de tourner, il lui donne une claque dans le dos et lui demande d'abandonner ses airs affectés de grande tragédienne. Des airs qu'elle ne prend jamais quand elle se retrouve en famille chez les Mitchum.
Christopher Michum, fils de Robert Mitchum: "Je me souviens du jour où je l'ai rencontré à Mandeville, ils tournaient "La rivière sans retour". J'étais assis devant la cheminée, dans le salon, sur un petit banc haut comme ça, recouvert de tapisserie rembourrée. J'étais là, en plein hiver, à me réchauffer le dos au coin du feu. Je devais avoir dans les 10 ans. Elle est entrée, elle s'est retournée, et elle a relevé sa robe pour se réchauffer le postérieur au coin du feu. Et moi, j'étais là, à regarder... (rire). Arrive mon père, qui lui demande: "Tu as fait connaissance avec mon fils ? Là, elle se retourne, et elle me dis: "Bonjour, je m'appelle Norma Jeane." Apparemment, elle ne m'avait pas vu. Mais ça ne l'a pas troublée du tout. Ce premier contact m'a fait forte impression. Voilà comment j'ai rencontré Marilyn Monroe ! (rire)."
Carrie Mitchum, petite-fille de Robert Mitchum: "Je crois que les grandes amitiés que Bob a tissé, pas seulement avec des actrices, mais aussi avec des acteurs, d'autres hommes, était basé sur une compréhension réciproque de leur histoire. C'est une génération qui a survécu à la Dépression, à la pauvreté, à la dureté du quotidien. Ils étaient liés par cette expérience de la survie. Ils savaient tous parfaitement d'où ils venaient. Et ils ne voulaient pas retourner en arrière".
