A Family for Joe

I was married to a woman at the time who enjoyed comedy. I never have been crazy about the 30 minute sitcoms and feel less so today. This one did appeal to me but it ended too soon to get started.

As for Robert Mitchum, I enjoyed most of his work and a little jewel that gets overlooked is when he played a rebel priest in a spaghetti western called "The Wrath Of God". No matter what part he played, he was always Robert Mitchum. He did it his way even playing a priest. In this movie he was joined by two other colorful characters, Frank Langella and Victor Buono and they did not get in each other's way.

Someone once asked him something like, how did he become a successful actor to which he replied, " Show up on time, know your lines, and stand where they tell you to". He also once said it beats working.

Rest in peace Mr. Mitchum and thank you for giving us a life time of good entertainment.
