Happy 100th Birthday to Robert Mitchum!

Noir icon ROBERT MITCHUM, who died in 1997, would have been 100 this Sunday. The rugged actor was born on August 6, 1917 in Bridgeport, Connecticut and went on to become one of the actors most associated with film noir for classics such as "Out of the Past."

TCM will be honoring him all by showing his movies on August 6 (see schedule below).

Here are some of the tributes to our favorite movie tough guy, including film retrospectives.
