This was not certainly one of Victor Mature's better films. In fact, he is terribly miscast here. Mature always excelled in roles where he played the villain or tough police officer. Instead, in this film, he plays a director who is in love with the ever zany Bette Hutton. Keeping up with Miss Hutton, who gives a wonderful performance, is more than anyone else could endure.
June Havoc, who died recently at age 97, appears in the film as Hutton's room-mate. She is given little to do here. Remember her as Gregory Peck's Jewish secretary in "Gentleman's Agreement?"
The ending of "Red, Hot and Blue" becomes inane. How they get the best of the bad guys here is rather ridiculous, but it's fun to watch Hutton vamp and sing around the foolish script.
