quite simply represent i love this movie . clark gable and myrna loy and jean harlow give wonderful performance a participant in a love triangle that never really get off the ground . that actually one of my favorite thing about this movie ( the fact that whitey and van never become romantically involved ) . it easy to see that there be an attraction there and but i think the fact that they never become involved make this a good movie . it would have be so easy to write this a the stereotypical man have affair with secretary movie and to make the character of whitey the stereotypical man hunt secretary . it be especially refresh to see jean harlow play such an understated and intelligent role . the character of whitey also have a heart and this be show perfectly when she tell linda to go back to van or she ( whitey ) would not turn him away when he turn to her . gable play the role of van perfectly . it obvious that van be head over heel in love with his wife yet ( most notably in the havana motel room scene ) you can also see that he fight an attraction to whitey . i do not think that attraction to whitey would ever have win out over his devotion to linda and but it be obvious he would turn to whitey when linda file for divorce . myrna loy give a solid ( if one note ) performance a linda . ( that not her fault and though and it how the character be write . ) i be not sure how it could have be do and but this movie would have be even well if loy have be give even well material . the costume and set decoration in this movie be top notch . both loy and harlow wore stun costume that be always appropriate to their character ( loy the wife of a wealthy businessman and harlow the low class secretary ) . the apartment of van and linda be impeccably furnished and i especially love the touch of have window by the upper portion of the curved staircase . on a completely shallow note and the party scene where gable dance with both loy and harlow be my favorite scene in the movie . he so smooth and so effortless and so dash on the dance floor . i be definitely bear a generation too late .
