HI knitwit:

If you think about it, Bob Mitchum was never keen on love scenes. His love scenes were usually Bob being very male. About the tenderest he ever was on screen was as Charliechaplinfan said, with Deborah Kerr (as a nun) in Heaven Knows Mr. Allison and second would probably be on the train at the end of the movie Holiday Affair with Janet Leigh. Soft and sweet was not Bob's strong point, unless he was working with kids.

Yet he had such effect on the ladies :) I love him in Ryan's Daughter he was cast against type in that and he excelled.

Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison in The Ghost and Mrs Muir.

Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief.

Cary Grant and anyone.........

Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse in Singin' In The Rain (or would that be better under a different heading like the raunchiest pairings on the screen, apart from the fact it sounds cheesy)
