this be one of the very bad film clark gable make . only parnell be obviously bad . it be just so painfully clichéd and the dialog be so lousy that it be something neither gable nor jean harlow should have be proud of make . gable be a heel whose illegal activity result in his girl go to the slammer ( like the gangster talk . ) . she hold out hope that he will do the right thing but he just leave her there unknown to either of them and gosh and that she in the family way . eventually and the rogue return to do the right thing and somehow they tie this all together into a happy end . they seem to have forget about gable needing to take the rap and spend several year in the hoosegow . leonard maltin say the star be at their best here . by what standard . best at produce unintended chuckle . gim me a break . p after say this and my wife think leonard maltin be go to find me and kick my butt . hmmm . however and despite my comment and i think mr. maltin be the fine reviewer and human be on the planet ( i hope that appease him ) . update 2/2/08 . because i dislike this film so much the first time ( especially the ridiculous end ) and i decide to watch it once again . after all and sometimes when i watch a film again i like it much more and realize that i be a bit too harsh . while that have be the case with several film in recent month and i still dislike this film even the second time . most of it be not because of the first half of the film . in the first half and harlow character be amazingly stupid but at least it be believable . but when she be send to prison and it be all clichés until the final ridiculous marriage scene occur . the bottom line be that this sequence be embarrassingly dumb it just make no sense at all and be akin to turn the movie into some wacky fairy tale instead of a love story about two con . i stand by my original review ( despite all the not helpfuls ) and think that aside from parnell and possibly polly at the circus and it might just be the bad gable film .
