Gable spent two years as an aerial cameraman and bomber gunner in Europe during World War II. Although the movies he appeared in following his return were not critically lauded, they did well at the box office. He experienced a critical revival with "The Hucksters" (1947), "Homecoming" (1948) and "Mogambo" (1953), which also featured newcomer Grace Kelly. Later he starred in westerns and war movies, such as "Run Silent, Run Deep" (1958) with Burt Lancaster, and in comedies that paired him with a new generation of leading ladies, such as Doris Day in "Teacher's Pet" (1958), Sophia Loren in "It Started in Naples" (1960) and Marilyn Monroe in "The Misfits" (1961).
