I'd almost say that this is my favorite Price roll (maybe next to the sleazy gigolo in LAURA) and some other I might have forgotten. <br /><br />'Mitchum at his bedroom-eyed best...' LOVE it! And of course I love Jane Russell in just about anything. What a dame.<br /><br />Last but not least, I love Raymond Burr. Do you remember him as a stooge of the Doge of Venice in Bob Hope's CASANOVA'S BIG NIGHT? Yes, there he was, Raymond Burr in an outfit sort of like a Roman centurion. No dialogue except maybe some grunts and a couple of throwaway lines. But even then he stood out. Well, how could he help it? :)<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me that it's been a while since I saw this film. I think maybe it's time for me to get my hands on the dvd. It's a keeper.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-69980007231355513682015-04-22T12:21:59.858-04:002015-04-22T12:21:59.858-04:00What a mish-mash of wonderfulness “His Kind of Wom...What a mish-mash of wonderfulness “His Kind of Woman” is.

His Kind of Woman has to be one of the most steamy, larger than life sexual movies ever. Mitchum and Russell fill up the screen with their in-your-face sexuality that is 40 feet high (or however high move screens are). I love Raymond Burr (I was just at Caftan Woman's remarking about him), and of course Vincent Price was just perfect. Love your take on this movie!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509497574816685109.post-13335661477118222792015-04-18T15:04:26.318-04:002015-04-18T15:04:26.318-04:00Victoria, we're delighted that you enjoyed HIS...Victoria, we're delighted that you enjoyed HIS KIND OF WOMAN and enjoyed its wild and crazy comedy, romance, brutal action, suspense -- with all the twists and turns and the great cast, there's something for everyone!
