His Kind Of Woman (1951)
A deported gangster causes problems for guests at a Mexican resort.
Dir: John Farrow Cast: Robert Mitchum , Jane Russell , Vincent Price .
CLOSE
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: John Farrow. Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, Vincent Price, Tim Holt, Raymond Burr, Charles McGraw, Marjorie Reynolds, Jim Backus. Mitchum blindly goes to Mexico for a payoff of 50 grand, discovers he's the soon-to-be-dead chump whose identity will help deported gangster Burr re-enter the country. Cult film is overlong, but its spoofing of he-man heroics predates the more celebrated BEAT THE DEVIL by three years; Price is hilarious as a ham actor.

Dangerous Mission (1954)
A woman flees westward after witnessing a mob killing.
Dir: Louis King Cast: Victor Mature , Piper Laurie , William Bendix .
CLOSE
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Louis King. Victor Mature, Piper Laurie, William Bendix, Vincent Price, Betta St. John, Harry Cheshire, Walter Reed. Mob hit man is hired to rub out witness in an upcoming murder trial and tracks her to a hotel in Glacier National Park, where another killer is on the loose. Enjoyable thriller boasts a solid cast, lovely locations, and a nifty twist at the halfway point, but the script has too many subplots and surprisingly flat dialogue. That's Dennis Weaver as one of Bendix's deputies. Originally in 3-D.

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Ted Tetzlaff. Dale Robertson, Sally Forrest, Lili St. Cyr, Vincent Price. Limp Arabian Nights adventure has Sinbad, captured by caliph, forced to perform wonders to win freedom and save Baghdad from evil Tamerlane. Look fast for Kim Novak as one of the ladies garbed in full-length hooded capes. SuperScope.

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Anthony Mann. Mario Lanza, Joan Fontaine, Sarita Montiel, Vincent Price, Joseph Calleia, Vince Edwards. James M. Cain novel becomes surface soaper of Lanza, the protege of swank Fontaine, manipulated by manager Price and loved by earthy Montiel; spotty musical interludes.

Story Of Mankind, The (1957)

D: Irwin Allen. Ronald Colman, Cedric Hardwicke, Vincent Price; guest stars Hedy Lamarr, Groucho, Harpo, Chico Marx, Virginia Mayo, Agnes Moorehead, Francis X. Bushman, Charles Coburn, Marie Windsor, John Carradine, Dennis Hopper. Ambitious in concept, laughable in juvenile results. Henrik Van Loon book of highlights of man's history becomes string of cliched costume episodes, badly cast, and packed with stock footage; the Marxes don't even appear together! Colman's last film.

D: Joseph M Newman. Victor Mature, Red Buttons, Rhonda Fleming, Kathryn Grant, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, David Nelson, Gilbert Roland, Howard McNear, Steve Allen. Corny and predictable, but still entertaining hokum under the big top, with Lorre as a sardonic clown and Roland tightrope-walking over Niagara Falls. And what a cast! CinemaScope.

Trouble With Girls, The (1969)
A traveling show's star gets involved in a small-town murder case.
Dir: Peter Tewksbury Cast: Elvis Presley , Marlyn Mason , Nicole Jaffe .
I never realized that VP did a film w/ Elvis!
Story Of Mankind is one for VP fans, but few others. VP is the devil /prosecuting attorney who argues for the destruction of mankind.
R. Coleman is man's defense Atty.
Master of the World seems not horror to me, though TCM identifies it as such. Compare it to HOUSE OF WAX, in which Charles Bronson plays the hunchbacked henchman, while in Master, he is the hero who opposes VP's attempt at world conquest.
