ElCid Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 6:00 Am, Saturday. Another really good Robert Mitchum movie with Jane Russell, Vincent Price and Raymond Burr. In a similar vein to The Big Steal and Macao. Good mystery with a little humor and romance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Also in the cast, Tim Holt, Charles McGraw, Jim Backus. With a cast like that how can you go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM108 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Terrific movie and a great cast all around, but IMO the one and only Vincent Price totally steals the show. And the more I think about it, the more I think that Price comes closer than any other Hollywood actor to having a completely unique screen persona. Grant, Bogart, Cagney, Robinson, Tracy, you name them, all of them are the best at playing a certain type, but there's not really any Vincent Price "type" outside of Vincent Price himself. He's 100% sui generis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 100% sui generis. True. Like many a good character actor, he managed to convince. The movie was hokey and unbelievable, but a good watch. Marjorie Reynolds, King Donovan, how neat. Price was hysterical in the marshaling the troops for the boat scene. Wait, this boat is not ready. THIS boat is ready. Very well done. Russell really couldn't hold an iron. Wait, she didn't need to. But Mitchum was still prettier than Bazooka Jane. ---Nice breaks, btw, with Claude Rains by John Gielgud and Myrna Loy by Julianne Moore. Thanks, TCM, for a very enjoyable early morning.

primosprimos Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 "Mi amigo que cree que es General Eisenhower..." Yes! And he really did tell the b-i-l he was a block of wood. Very good movie, they should show it more often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price's character refects the vibe of this film; one that isn't very serious but can get down to serious business when called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's great to see so many fans of "His Kind of Woman." This is a fun movie. And you're right about Vincent Price. His character is a real hoot. And Jane Russell never looked more beautiful. And it's always fun when she sings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
