MItchell Was Playing a 31 Year Old at The Age of 52?

Mimi had gone into exile with his father at the age of 15 and returned to America 16 years later to take over or whatever he was doing! Mitchell was clearly much older than the character. Somebody had some serious Dorian Gray/Mae West in 'Sextette' self deception!

He had the body of a much younger man and still had his hair...I thought he looked great!

He may have looked great, but he didn't look anywhere near 31.

This fact is even more impressive in 1974 compared to current times. These days many people in their 50’s look much younger, but back then it wasn’t so common.

Mitchell's blatant miscasting is a huge part of this film's uniquely clunky charm.
