Two reasons to watch (and one to listen)
1. There's a lot of actual 1950s Las Vegas film footage interspersed throughout the movie --- gives the viewer a chance to see what the Strip looked like "once upon a time".
2. The climax features a great helicopter/car chase.
3. The movie introduced two Hoagy Carmichael standard tunes: "My Resistance Is Low" and "I Get Along Without You Very Well", both sung by Russell, both with an assist by Carmichael. The latter song's melody is also heard throughout the film as a love theme.
film noir
This was a good film in the film noir tradition. I enjoyed it Jane Russell was as beautiful as ever.
Las Vegas Story
Las Vegas story is an example of 1959s cinema. I wish Vincent Price did not play the bad guy in this movie. Victor Mature and Jane Russel play an odd pair. I guess I really don't have much else to say about it. It is what it is.
