The Las Vegas Story

We’ve seen Jane Russell, who has a history in town, and shifty husband Vincent Price arrive at their hotel when Victor Mature, as deputy Andrews, himself part of that history, joins, checking with Drucker (Gordon Oliver), then some would-be newlyweds (Chet Marshall, Colleen Miller), in The Las Vegas Story, 1952.

Jane Russell as ex-Las Vegas songbird Linda explores her old haunts, with nice location footage, dropping in at her old club, where Hoagy Carmichael is still at the piano, flashing-back on her old song, his famous composition, ex-flame Victor Mature included, in The Las Vegas Story, 1952.

Hoagy Carmichael narrates as musician Happy, introducing the town, himself, Jane Russell and briefly Victor Mature in their roles, then Vincent Price appears as her husband, opening The Las Vegas Story, 1952, from RKO, director Robert Stevenson and Vegas-invested studio boss Howard Hughes.

Casablanca comes to Nevada with Victor Mature as a gambler who encounters newly married former love Jane Russell in The Las Vegas Story (1952).
