I am looking for a scene in which Jane Russell is punched in the face by a male character and is knocked out cold.
I was told that there is a scene in this movie fitting the above description.
Can anyone confirm this?
Yep...Jane's character, Laurel Stevens, is KO'd by Mike, portrayed by Ralph Meeker.
Possible spoiler:
My only objection to this movie is the physical violence against both Russell (Meeker slaps her, and later punches her) and Merkel (the agent drops a telephone on her head). Even back in the '50s when I was a little kid, we were always taught that good guys don't hit women. Meeker (an actor I like a lot) is the perpetrator of the kidnapping here, but he's really supposed to be a good guy, the romantic lead. It's hard for me to believe that in their future life as a couple, potentially as husband and wife, he won't just pop her in the face if she gets on his nerves about something. That's just not cool, and it wasn't cool in 1957 either.
Agreed. Thank you.
