Mitchell (film)

Common card · No. 437739

Mitchell is a 1975 American crime action film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, from a screenplay by Ian Kennedy Martin. Joe Don Baker stars as the titular character, an abrasive police detective. Very much an anti-hero, Mitchell often ignores the orders of his superiors and demonstrates disdain for by-the-book development work as well as normal social graces. The film also stars Martin Balsam, John Saxon, Linda Evans and Merlin Olsen. The film was released in the United States on September 10, 1975 by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. It had a negative critical reception and was a commercial disappointment. Years later, Mitchell had a resurgence after being featured in a season 5 episode of the comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1993.
