'Lee Server's thorough work gives Mitchum the biography he deserves, and consolidates his reputation as one of the very best.' Guardian; 'This is a book you can wallow in. You're never far from a fight or a steamy romance or a drinking binge - Robert Mitchum, after all, was like a Robert Mitchum character.' New Statesman; 'Server has accumulated plenty of intriguing details about Mitchum's life, and his style parallels the laid-back character of his subject.' Sunday Express; 'Some guy. And this is some book... Server is the best kind of biographer, a fan who doesn't let his admiration get in the way of telling the truth'. Scotland on Sunday
