Description: Austin television personality Carolyn Jackson interviews actor Christopher Mitchum during the press junket for the film The Last Hard Men, which she points out is a “man’s movie” due to its violence and gore. Topics discussed include Mitchum’s take on the differences between the film industries in Europe, Asia and the United States, how he spends his spare time, and his career path. He confides that he never intended to become an actor, but working on his fourth film, Rio Lobo, with John Wayne and Howard Hawks inspired him to join the profession.
