The Las Vegas Story (1952)


RKO Radio Pictures

My rating: 2 stars out of 4

Jane Russell and husband Vincent Price stopover in Vegas. He indulges his gambling habit while she relives her old days as a nightclub singer. Her expensive necklace attracts the attention of an insurance investigator, and after it gets stolen he is the prime suspect. A final chase sequence in fast motion involves a helicopter at a dusty airport. Hoagy Carmichael is a campy lounge singer and performs the awful "Monkey Song".
