in this wonderful comedy or drama and all three major star go against their stereotyped role . clark gable and for example and play devote husband and businessman instead of a tough guy like he usually do . jean harlow play a hard working and good natured secretary and who doesn not seem to know just how damn sexy and gorgeous she be and and no wise crack . then there be the lovely myrna loy and who play an extremely sexy wife ( in contrast to her other wife role ) . this could have be another formulaic and predictable film but the star loy and harlow and gable shine in their role and make this a truly funny and magical film . the conflict start when linda stanhope ( a gorgeous myrna loy ) mother in law make a careless comment about how nice her son ( a dashing clark gable ) linda husband secretary ( play by jean harlow ) be . from there and a usually non jealous linda become increasingly suspicious to her husband action . many thing seem to point to the conclusion that van be have an affair . hm . it rather tragic that this brilliant piece of comedy be not that well know and a it should be . all three star be exquisite and really entertaining to watch and raise above the boring and run of the mill comedy or drama . wife vs. secretary be a great movie i thoroughly enjoy it .
