The story for this one is alright and very typical of this period, though certainly not that pre-code, but Crawford really shines here and keeps this afloat along with her chemistry with Gable. Also this version on HBO Max must be quite the old restoration because occasionally the audio sounds like a robot talking, thank god for more modern technology...

“If I were a man it wouldn’t frighten you. You’d think it was right for me to go out and get anything I could out of life, and use anything I had to get it. Why should men be so different?”

Joan Crawford my feminist queen!!!
The chemistry Joan & Clark had was on fire. I mean let’s be real, who wouldn’t fall for Clark Gable?

I’ll always love old films. If I had a time machine I would go back to this era and become a movie star.

Really enjoyed this. I will fall for Clark Gable every time no matter what. I couldn’t take my eyes off Joan Crawford either. Got me thinking about thinning my brows…

nice to see men loving women and respecting their individuality

A really brisk and chill low-stakes romantic comedy (at least til the last thirty minutes) with absolutely ravishing performances by the indomitable Joan Crawford and the suave Clark Gable. Absolutely swoon worthy.
