This Howard Hughes product showcases his top two actors, Jane Russell and Robert Mitchum in a composite noir, romance, comedy, farce that doesn’t reveal the plot for the first 45 minutes. Test audiences were too restless and confused so the producers decided to add Raymond Burr to the cast and reshot 1/3 of the movie to make the audience think they were within one step of understanding what was going on. Amazingly, Burr is in major scenes at the beginning and end, but these were not even supposed to ever exist when the major parts of the film were shot.
