LeonLouisRicci People and Critics (even those that are People) Seem to Like this Train Wreck for the Sum of its Parts. There is Some Great Noir Dialog and Interesting Shading to the Film, but the Plot and Tone has More Cleavage than Jane Russell.It is Sliced Off Here and There, Cut with a Meat Cleaver, Inserting Non Sequiturs and Jarring Scenes that Make No Sense and Further Make the Heavy Plot Incomprehensible and Awkward.Robert Mitchum Stays in His Film-Noir Persona with a Sharp Tongue and Cynical Attitude and Jane Russell is On Display. Vincent Price was Inserted as the Oddball Actor and then More Insertion as a Shakespearean Speech Maker. It is Funny, Individually, but when Paired with the Violent and Sadistic Raymond Burr Scenes, the Addition May Bring Notice but its Not a Good Fit.There are Nazi-Drugs and Close-Ups of Veins Waiting for Needles, Beatings with Belt Buckles Intercut with Price in Flowing Cape, Hamming it Up and Spouting Quotes and Barbs and the Film Collapses into a Surreal Slapstick Composite with Film-Noir.Overall, Worth a Watch for the First Two Acts, the Good Snappy Patter (at least in the first half), the Good Supporting Cast along with Mitchum, and to See Just How Much Damage from a Meddling Howard Hughes Could Cause.

seymourblack-1 When a fall guy who's been set up to have his identity stolen by a gangster, spends time at an isolated resort, it gradually becomes clear that some of the other residents also have issues concerning their identities. A wealthy young woman who's operating under a false name is not what she appears to be, a chess-playing writer turns out to be an ex-Nazi plastic surgeon and a seemingly drunken pilot is actually a very sober Federal Immigration Officer who's working on an investigation. In "His Kind Of Woman", however, the identity changes don't stop there as this is a movie that starts out as a routine crime thriller but then suddenly turns into a comedy send-up in the third act. Whilst the confused identities of the characters add a great deal of intrigue to the plot, the movie's overall change of identity is a much more qualified success.Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) is a professional gambler with more debts than he can handle so when he's mysteriously offered $50,000 to leave the United States for a year, he doesn't feel in any position to refuse. Following instructions, his first stop is Nogales, Mexico where he meets a beautiful singer called Lenore (Jane Russell) and shares a chartered flight with her to Morro's Lodge in Baja, California. Milner is strongly attracted to Lenore but soon discovers that she's having an affair with a famous Hollywood star, Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price), who's also staying at the resort. Milner has no idea what he's expected to do for the money he's been promised and so has to wait patiently until someone contacts him with further instructions.When he overhears part of a hushed conversation involving two other guests, Milner starts to become suspicious of what they might be planning and his concerns seem to be confirmed when an apparently reckless pilot called Bill Lusk (Tim Holt) lands his plane nearby in the middle of a storm. Lusk, who works for the Immigration Service, tells Milner that Nick Ferraro (Raymond Burr), a deported gangster, is desperate to return to the United States and plans to kill Milner, undergo plastic surgery and use his identity to achieve his objective. Shortly after, Milner and Lenore discover Lusk's dead body and three men forcibly take Milner by boat to Ferraro's yacht nearby.Lenore Brent exhorts Mark Cardigan to help Milner who's obviously in great danger and this provides the movie star with the opportunity he's longed for to indulge in some real-life adventure of the type that he normally acts out on the silver screen."His Kind Of Woman" mixes murder, beatings and violence with comedy, romance and songs and unsurprisingly, there are moments when some of these elements don't combine successfully. The impact and suspense that would normally be generated by some of the more brutal scenes involving Milner and Ferraro are dissipated by other moments in which Cardigan is seen clowning around hilariously and similarly, the whole tone of the scenes in which Milner is being tortured and threatened is incongruous with those in which Cardigan indulges in some very broad comedy.Despite the aforementioned problems, there is still much to enjoy in this movie. Its shady characters and interesting story are particularly enjoyable and Vincent Price is extremely funny as the self-absorbed, Shakespeare-quoting film star who thinks that his experience of acting in adventure movies makes him qualified to be a real-life hero. Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell are also very well cast in their roles and work brilliantly together particularly when they're indulging in their witty repartee.

AaronCapenBanner John Farrow and Richard Fleisher co-directed this odd film noir semi-spoof that stars Robert Mitchum as hard-luck gambler Dan Milner, who is used by deported gangster Nick Ferraro(played by Raymond Burr) in an elaborate scheme to re-enter the country. Dan is sent to a posh California resort, where he meets Lenore Brent(played by Jane Russell). There is a mutual attraction, but Nick's plans take precedence, as Dan is unsure of who he can trust, or just how he fits in with the big picture. Vincent price is amusing as a ham actor who gets in on the action, but this film is fatally overlong and too self-involved to succeed.

bilowkojy According to the average assessment of 7.1 this movie belongs to the overrated and his realistic assessment is up to 6. The highest lack of the movie is its excessive length of 120 minutes. Director John Farrow and the screenwriters have the problems with a feeling of measure for the duration of required scenes what this movie make sure a boring and at moments an uninteresting, although the theme of the movie itself is an unusual and one that promises. As I've written before the most of the scenes are too long, and some of them are missing as a scene that is supposed to explain the murder of agent Bill Lusk. Another shortcoming of this movie is the a great number of characters, what additionally burden on the already extensive action. All these are the challenges that require a more skill than they did in this movie, the listed director and screenwriter. And this movie will be remembered for being the supporting actor, great Vincent Price, was brilliant and his inspired acting surpassed the main actors, the solid Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell that by the way here shows your own singing talent. Great actor Tim Holt less appears in the movie so that the audience remained deprived to enjoy a little more in his role as Bill Lusk, an FBI agent. This is certainly not a comedy as it stands, already it's a classic crime movie, maybe movie-noir, as sub-genre.
