 Rating:  - Before Streisand there was Gable and Lombard!! Interesting look at Gable and Lombard played by Brolin pre Barbra an Jill pre Unmarried Woman perhaps! Gotta Love these Chezzy Made for TV biographies great companion piece to The Jayne Mansfield Story, Bud and Lou, Bogie, Luci and Desi Before the Laughter, The Rosemary Clooney Story. Rating:  - Enjoyable flickFirst half good, second half not so good. I think Brolin was terrific as Gable. I think he nailed the character. Clayburgh was good as well. As I said, it was quite enjoyable for an hour, then it just lost control of its story and its charm. Too bad. The actor who played L. B. Mayer was great. He had all the best lines. Rating:  - Not Even Remotely the Bomb It's Reputation SuggestsThe critical lambasting this film received on it's initial release in 1976 is inexplicable. Though certainly not a classic love story it is most definitely above average. The film's only failing that I can see are some slapstick moments that fall flat.

Lombard comes across as a foul mouthed, ill educated woman when she was the opposite. Lombard was very much a thinking woman who was a devout New Deal Democrat who earned the admiration for FDR and Eleanor. Duesenberg driving Gable (He owned 4!) although a gifted actor was never a Hollywood intellect like Lombard, Frederic March, Edward G. Robinson and other activist actors of the day. Many people hated James Brolin in this film but ... Read More Rating:  - this is the love story that was Gable and Lombard?Total fiction, and that's too bad, as it was a story worthy of telling. Badly miscast, Lombard comes off as a shrill, foul-mouthed (while she had the vocabulary of a sailor, Gable once said "it was music coming from her.")shallow wench and Gable is portrayed as a dimwit. Neither is true - Lombard was a warm, caring, giving woman and Gable had more than a veneer of sophistication. The film invents situations, or warps real ones out of recognition, never touching on Gable's infidelities, which were so painful ... Read More |
