Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring filming of the famous rain-barrel sequence, Jean Harlow reportedly stood up--topless--and called out something along the lines of "one for the boys in the lab!" Director Victor Fleming allegedly removed the film from the camera to prevent any footage from reaching the black market.
- GoofsWhen Clark Gable and Gene Raymond are in the tree while hunting, after the line: 'This would be a bad country to raise children in, wouldn't it?' the cloud in the background changes dramatically.
- Quotes
Barbara Willis: [watching the workers pouring liquid rubber] Why, it's milk.
Dennis Carson: Oh no, just rubber. But you could drink it if you care to stretch a point.
Barbara Willis: Oh, I once knew a man who made a joke like that. He was run over by a truck.
Dennis Carson: Were you driving it?
Barbara Willis: Yes!
Dennis Carson: Well, you're out of luck here. We only have ox-carts and every ox knows me personally.

Featured review
Highly charged
Erotically highly charged melodrama that fairly sizzles, even today, more than 70 years later. Cinematography has a plasticity and a sheen to it that makes the film gorgeous to look at, editing is highly efficient and gets the job done and the story told, and the acting is fabulous. I wasn't prepared for the physical impact of the young Gable, how he makes absolutely no excuses for his raw sexuality and libido and how amazingly attractive he was. Harlow as well, I was prepared to find her vulgar and shallow, but she was quite good and certainly had a chemistry thing going with Gable.
Recommended, and please, all of you insisting that this is an inexcusably racist picture, any work of art needs to be judged by its own unique standards, and those of its time. Racism in movies today is a lot subtler, but certainly exists just like it did in the early 30s, and politics or no politics it doesn't detract from the greatness of this genre movie.
Heartily recommended.
