That was an excellent one.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Good performances, yes, but the plot was implausible - gangster wants to lure a guy to Mexico so he can do some sort of plastic surgery to sneak into the U.S. using the other guy's passport. Huh? And the movie turns into a mashup between film noir and crime farce, with Robert Mitchum holding up his noir end while Vincent Price hams it up while reciting Shakespeare. Very strange movie that could've been a lot better.

What a wonderful surprise this film was for me! It had been sitting in my Film Noir Collection Vol. 3 set for years without viewing for some reason until at last I popped it in. Mitchum plays a gambler in need of cash who reluctantly agrees to go to Mexico for a sizable sum of money. The problem? The shady mafia types who send him down there won't tell him what for and why he's being paid. I'll stop there with the story...if you want a further synopsis you can find that elsewhere on here.The film begins rather slowly but is never boring because of Mitchum (was there a more perfect noir actor?) and the dynamic visuals courtesy Harry J. Wild and Farrow's solid direction. The supporting cast is superb with Charles McGraw, Jane Russell, Raymond Burr, and especially Vincent Price, who steals the movie with a wonderfully comedic and hammy performance. The last third of the picture feels rather different in tone because it becomes more of a farce at that point, which I suspect will turn off many viewers, but this noir lover found it absolutely delightful. NOTE: The last third of the film was apparently shot after completion of the picture and was directed by Richard Fleischer.So don't go in expecting the typical classical noir (is there such a thing anways?) or else you may find His Kind of Woman not exactly your type.

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.

After the tragic death of the leading actress in this film, I was very keen to see quite a few of her films as a tribute, this one was shown and I tried my best to pay attention. Basically Dan Milner (Robert Mitchum) is the "honest" gambler is bribed by crime boss Nick Ferraro (Raymond Burr) to go to Mexico so that he can get back into the USA. On the way, Dan meets his kind of woman, nightclub singer Lenore Brent (Jane Russell) who is travelling there to meet supposedly divorcing actor Mark Cardigan (Vincent Price). I will be honest and say that I didn't watch as carefully as I could have done, as far as I could make out it was all a big plot, Dan ends up getting beaten up, and Mark as his good friend grabs his gun and helps defeat all the crooks, and obviously Lenore gets with Dan in the end. Also starring Tim Holt as Bill Lusk, Charles McGraw as Thompson / Narrator, Marjorie Reynolds as Helen Cardigan, Leslie Banning as Jennie Stone, Jim Backus as Myron Winton and Philip Van Zandt as Jose Morro. From what I kept my eye on, Mitchum was pretty good, Price was really good as the actor with plenty of one liners and a cool attitude, and Russell was of course sassy and sexy as usual, the story didn't make a lot of sense, and the critics say this as well, so I don't think it really mattered I missed some bits, from what I could make out, it's not something I'd really watch again, but not a bad film noir. Okay!
