a despicable little shitbag of a man and a random old dude who's never seen the woman before and proceeded to propose to her, sounds like homoerotic rivalry

This movie is a little better than average. The story is whatever, but Gable performance is great. MacDonald is fine while Spencer Tracy does the self righteous preacher a bit too over the top and grating at times. Typical story throughout, but also a little extra for the ending earthquake and look of that experience.

Rather interesting to watch this now, especially what's happening in Hollywood with the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. Clark Gable's character is very equivalent to a powerful man in Hollywood and I feel the romance in this film isn't really earned because of it. Gable is always a charm to watch on screen but his character here seems a bit forceful to MacDonald's character. By the end, she has fallen in love with him and it doesn't seem right to me. It does seem a bit predictable at first until a certain incident happens in the third act that is problematic and a bit out-of-nowhere to fit right into the story. It did feel like a breeze though, as it's got some pretty steady pacing, and all of the performances were decent. It's not a classic but it's enjoyable.
