No fave of mine, but it ought to be judged in its own time–’40s Hollywood, when the relatively new (only since ’34) Producers Code tried to enforce the strictest kind of Sunday School morality–such as prohibiting showing a double-bed in a married couples bedroom!  By the childish standards of the time, it was rather “daring.” 

On top of that, Jane Russell was at her best singing & dancing, & delivering snappy one-liners, as in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Actually, the movie still is much better than the poster.

And as to Howard Hughes, he could take major movie stars and produce junk, like John Wayne in “The Conqueror” and “Jet Pilot”.  Hughes main interest was in bedding the leading lady.  And compare the work of Walter Huston in “The Outlaw” to that in “The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre”, also a 1940’s film.
