His Kind of Woman

NOT RATED YET

His Kind of Woman is a black-and-white 1951 comedy drama film noir starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. The film features supporting roles by Vincent Price, Raymond Burr, and Charles McGraw. The movie was directed officially by John Farrow and based on the unpublished story Star Sapphie by Gerald Drayson.Post-production on the film was rife with problems and Howard Hughes was dissatisfied with John Farrow's work, and a number of scenes were cut, added, and re-shot by the uncredited Richard Fleischer. Hughes also organized a screenwriting team which extensively rewrote the film and added many pages to the first script. Despite the turmoil surrounding the film's production, the film was commercially successful and has developed a cult following, despite its lack of widespread distribution in the decades since its release.Deported crime boss Nick Ferraro (Raymond Burr) lures Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) and glamorous lounge singer Lenore Brent (Jane Russell) to a remote hideaway in Mexico. When Milner arrives, he finds that all the guests at the luxurious Baja California resort are playing roles, each with hidden motives. He begins to distrust everyone, and questions his reason for being at Ferraro's resort, though he befriends eccentric actor Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price).
