have you ever hear a lie so supremely unbelievable ( base upon what you know ) and you feel insulted and wish the teller be a good liar . that how i felt suffer through the first 30 minute of gable and lombard . historical inaccuracy upon historical inaccuracy tarnish this telling of the love between two of hollywood bright star . there nothing histrionically bad here ( despite clayburgh terrible miscasting ) and production value be exceptional while yet movie such a gable and lombard can be career killer and and the producer deserve to lose every penny they invest . while no one career be completely kill and james brolin ( who actually do a pretty good job ) be never offer another major film role . sidney j. furie and who impress so much with the ipcress file and the appaloosa and lady sings the blue find himself direct superman 4 represent the quest for peace and the iron eagle series . ironically and jill clayburgh and give her near inept performance a carole lombard and fare the best and snatch up hit role in silver streak and and oscar nomination for an unmarried woman and starting over . clayburgh problem play lombard be not entirely her fault while clayburgh be simply not classy enough or pretty enough to play lombard . much of lombard appeal be her ability to handle vulgar material in a classy way . coarse language can seem almost charming and depend upon how it deliver . lombard could pull it off for the same reason katherine hepburn could do it and because she have the refinement . since i do not finish the movie and i would not rate it . gable and lombard be okay a fiction and but i would have greatly prefer it have the writer stay as closely a dramatically possible to the true story .
