    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The night before the Las Vegas premiere of this film, Jane Russell and husband Robert Waterfield got into a fight in which he slugged her in the face several times. The next morning her face was swollen and black and blue. RKO executives didn't want to cancel the premiere and she appeared at the festivities with a severely swollen and bruised face. A story was given to the press that the intense windstorm the night before slammed an open car door into her face. Despite the believable story, a "Newsweek" blurb hinted at the actual truth.
    • Goofs
      When Linda goes to see the Last Chance, where she used to sing, she starts out riding in one cab and then is shown arriving in a different cab. Note the first has the word "Plymouth" above the grill and no number above the windshield.
    • Quotes

      Mary: I guess it would be only fair if you were to kiss Bill.

      Linda Rollins: If I kissed Bill there wouldn't be anything fair about it.

    My Resistance Is Low
    Substitute Victor Mature for the part that Robert Mitchum normally played in these RKO films of the Fifties and you've got The Las Vegas Story. Wonder what Mitch was doing at this time?

    Nothing terribly groundbreaking in this film. Jane Russell and Vincent Price arrive back in Las Vegas where Jane used to be a singer when she was a single gal. Also working there is ex-boyfriend Victor Mature now with the Clark County Sheriff.

    When casino owner Robert J. Wilke turns up dead, there's a host of suspects out there. Jane's diamond necklace also is missing which is seen quite reasonably as a motive as Price said it was in the hotel safe.

    Things pretty much go as they normally do in these noir films, some good action sequences a nice car chase through an atomic bomb testing site in the end.

    What sets The Las Vegas Story apart is the presence of that old music master Hoagy Carmichael. ANY film he either appears in and/or writes some songs for is a cut above average just for that. He and Russell end the film singing his Academy Award nominated song My Resistance Is Low.

    So will your's be once exposed to the talents of Hoagy Carmichael.
