The Las Vegas Story (1952)
It just doesn't get any better

Sadly, we learn today of the passing of Victor Mature.
And while not receiving critical acclaim, The Las Vegas Story stands in my memory as an all-time favorite.
Victor Mature, when coupled with Jane Russell make the screen absolutely 'sizzle'. And who could ever forget the lovable Hoagy Carmichael?
But few have seen it. And even film historians when discussing Victor Mature's work rarely even mention it. However, I became hopelessly enthralled with this picture in the 50's and in a curious way, it still 'does it' for me today. The Las Vegas Story was and and remains my personal "Casablanca".
