Jane Russell in one they NEVER show.... Hot Blood. Russell is Annie Caldash, who tricks Stephano ( Cornell Wilde) into marriage. things are NOT off to a good start. some pretty offensive stuff going on, by todays' standards. and keep an eye out for Richard Deacon, who may or may not hire Stephano. Deacon was "Mel" in the Dick van Dyke show. Some scenes just go on way too long. The "whip scene" goes on and on. and the tap dancing on the sidewalk (really!) goes on too long. Steve leaves. but will he come back? family interactions. respect for the family and parents. trickery. arranged marriages. Directed by Nicholas Ray, who had made some incredible films! Ray was nominated for "Rebel", but didn't win. Russell only made 33 films, but this wasn't her best film. i recommend Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which she had made a couple years before.
