What happens

His Kind of Woman is a 1951 film noir directed by John Farrow and starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, Vincent Price, Raymond Burr and Charles McGraw. The plot is based on the unpublished story "Star Sapphire" by Gerald Drayson Adams. After Farrow submitted the film, RKO Pictures studio head Howard Hughes demanded extensive script revisions, recasting and reshooting of scenes directed by Richard Fleischer. This postproduction process took a great deal of time and money, costing about as much as the film lost at the box office in its initial release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
