I watched this yesterday via the TCM app. “Wacky” is certainly an apt description of this film. Probably the only noir / comedy / swashbuckler / musical out there. Howard Hughes sure was one odd duck.His Kind of Woman, a very wacky adventure-thriller. Not quite noir in my book, but as Eddie said, it's such a mix of so many genres that it's hard to classify it. Howard Hughes may have been enchanted with Vincent Price's character, but I found him tiresome in the end. The Mitchum-against-the-world story was all that interested me. Eddie's comments were, as always, illuminating. I wonder who the actor was who filmed the scenes that Raymond Burr inevitably filmed?
