jean harlow be the secretary no wife want her husband to have in wife vs. secretary star clark gable and myrna loy and and harlow and with an early appearance by james stewart . it hard to believe and look at this film and that jean harlow would be dead a year later . less blonde than in some early film and and far more subdued and she play the indispensable and smart and and efficient secretary of clark gable . gable be a high pressured businessman happily marry to myrna loy . all be well until her mother in law advise her to make gable get rid of that good look assistant . slowly and loy begin to realize that everyone in their circle be assume an affair and which up to that point hadn not cross her mind . it do now . harlow be involve with james stewart and and he doesn not want her to work after they get married . her job and he feel and be too exciting and important and will threaten their marriage . harlow be half in love with gable and refuse to quit . stewart be adorable and give a hint of what will be truly be one of the great screen persona . the cast be splendid . gable be his usual charming self while loy and harlow be perfect casting a unique woman who be complete opposite . their final scene together consist of only a long look . it very effective and as be the acting of both woman throughout . loy scene with her mother in law be heartbreaking . this be a dated film but very satisfying . although it wonderful to see these star together and it sad to realize theyre all go now and and that young harlow have be go for 68 year . quite a loss .
