Oh Dad! A Search for Robert Mitchum

Parthian Books launch Lloyd Robson’s new book, Oh Dad! A Search for Robert Mitchum. Lloyd Robson has spent the last four years in search of Robert Mitchum: the original Hollywood badboy and one of the greatest screen actors of the twentieth century. Mitchum’s pre-fame life is cloaked in mystery, and the truth hidden behind his time spent as a Depression-era hobo, prizefighter, escaped felon and secret poet.

The result is a book which falls between several stools. It is biography, travelogue, reflection on manhood and Lloyd’s own drunken, gonzo journalistic search for the screen icon.
