A good Gable/Harlow flick!, 31 December 2006
Author: Rhondaluvsclassics from United States

I adore the films in which Clark Gable and Jean Harlow starred opposite one another, and although this isn't my personal favorite - it is a very good and must-see movie. Harlow excels in her dramatic role as the highly-efficient, dependable and beautiful secretary to Gable's character of company executive. Myrna Loy gets on my nerves as the jealous yet believable wife. There are several awesome and memorable scenes. This movie shows us that not everything in life is at it appears to be. I found the interaction between wife and secretary to be particularly good. Overall, I highly recommend this movie and the cast is top-notch!
