Cast Pulls Through

It is a simple story, really. Jim (Clark Gable) and Gunner (Spencer Tracy) are test pilots. They risk their lives for thrills and a quick buck. Jim loves women and Gunner loves Jim. Howard Drake (Lionel Barrymore) is their mentor, and he knows them through and through. He doesn't quite believe it when Jim marries Ann (Myrna Loy), a farmgirl from Kansas, but over time he realizes the true bond they have with each other. It is too bad Jim will never lose his love for the sky and the adrenaline rush he gets when he flies.

This weak storyline is carried off with great effect by the excellent cast. MGM boasted that it had more stars than were in the heavens, and they knew how to exhibit them. Gable is brash and masculine in his role, the perfect ladies man. Loy plays the part she always played, the perfect wife with an understanding heart. Tracy has the most difficult job here, because his character's love for his friend seems much more intense than that of a normal friendship. He balances the tricky situation brilliantly. Barrymore suffered greatly from his arthritis during this time period, so most of his scenes are done sitting down in cars, but it is nice to see him nonetheless.

Superb

All I have to say is Spencer Tracy and Myrna Loy are superb actors. With great actors, everything is automatic. They don't have to pretend to be anything because the feeling is their own. I love watching classic movies to observe actors and these two are among the most talented actors. It's just to bad Ms. Loy never received an oscar because she is superb in any role she plays and every role is always believable.

What? It's not on DVD?

I just finished watching this movie tonight on TCM and immediately looked it up on Amazon to buy it on DVD but....it's not on DVD! This movie was so good! When you hear people say, "they just don't make movies like this one anymore" - this is one of those kind of movies! The acting was incredible: Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable together make this movie so enjoyable and the storyline just draws you in. I can't believe this one is not available on DVD - if you get a chance to catch this movie on television, don't miss it!


WHO DO WE HAVE TO F*** TO HAVE THIS ON DVD?!!!

The subject says it all: this is a glorious film - with a maignificent cast. Why hasn't it been released on DVD?
