Hello, I really like Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck, but this movie must have been accepted by them as a pay cheque while they waited for something better. Both had very superior films before and after in their careers. It's about the only movie of either one I have ever turned off. The change from hard nose reporter, to love struck person in one scene (with no previous character development), was the just too much and the turning point in the movie. If a slap and one kiss could have that much affect on a human, then there's no hope for any intelligent mind on this earth. However, I have to be honest, the approach can be realistic and emotionally true depending on your value system. The causation of love is difficult to determine. Overall, maybe the plots, scripts, acting and perceptions were better at an earlier time. I think so.
Bye, Bill
