"For the Irish schoolmaster, I figured that an undefined diction was permissible. "We somehow got through it, with normal gringo agony, like the brewer's flu the Monday morning hangovers and I came here because I have enough faith in the film to recommend it." "Ryan's Daughter" is expected to open in San Francisco at Christ mas and Mitchum described his contribution as "the work of a facile journeyman who's had the help and support of qualified efforts." All the same, the actor confessed that he's terrified.

The 53 year old veteran of 130 movies spoke yesterday of his "fortuitous" success, of faking it" and of "the good lunches and outdoor work" that pictures have provided. He's a chatty, friendly, self made and obviously intelligent man with a wry, fanciful sense of humor.

When screenwriter Robert Bolt, who was also determined to get Mitchum for the part, phoned from London, the actor put him off with a put-on. "I told him I was impressed with his script, but that I planned suicide. "He asked me to delay killing myself until after fangs when she's bitching at Joe, or her pregnant sister (Diane Podlewski), whose baby Holly wants to take in order to qualify for welfare.

"I didn't want to work. I prefer vegetating. Besides, I'd done five pictures in a row all public cheats, like the last one, 'The Good Guys and the Bad Nobody benefitted from them but the Internal Revenue Service." Mitchum was also reluctant to undertake what he called "the protracted tenure" of Lean's production, which was shot over a nine-month period in an isolated village of County Kerry in western Ireland. "It was very slow. David Lean is a monomaniacal genius who was single -minded about this project.

I found the long shooting schedule difficult, unwieldy and perhaps wasteful. "They made me up to look like Charlie Chan. I told them about it. They wouldn't listen. Then they reshot everytlung, because they said I looked too much like Charlie Chan.

"Ryan's Daughter," a big, prestigious picture, in which Mitchum plays a rural Irish schoolteacher married to Sarah Miles. Mitchum claims to have resisted Lean's offer of a "TRASH," film produced by Andy Warhoi: stew, photography and direction by Paul Morrissey.

But there's no other virtue in "Trash," which only merits super lative in being the dirtiest, most accurately titled movie I've seen in at least a momth. It stars Joe Dallesandro, the indefatigable exhibitionist of "Flesh" and "Bike Boy," whose pimpled behind, surly face and grubby fingernails are quite as unappetizing as ever. Joe plays a junkie in the East Village. But his only worry about his condition is that he's become impotent. He shares a pad with Holly Woodlawn, a female impersonator with a voice like a pneumatic drill and vocabulary so foul, even Myra Breckinridge would wince.

Holly's the first drag queen I've seen with buck teeth.
