	Movies - His Kind of Woman

His Kind of Woman is a black-and-white 1951 film noir mystery film starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. The film features notable supporting roles by Vincent Price, Raymond Burr, and Charles McGraw.

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 reshot 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.

Plot

Deported crime boss Nick Ferraro (Raymond Burr) lures Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) and his girl Lenore (Jane Russell) down to 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).
