It's a manly man movie and an often overlooked good performance by Clark Gable. He and Spencer Tracey are oil field wildcatters and romantic rivals in Boom Town.
A World War II movie based on a Broadway play, Command Decision is a thinking man's war movie.
We don't think anyone else has ever reprised a screen role of a movie they made 20 years before. Mogambo is a remake of Red Dust both starring Clark Gable. Ava Gardner takes the Jean Harlow role.
Just for fun: Clark Gable and Doris Day in Teacher's Pet. She's the journalism teacher, he's the hard boiled newspaperman. It's great fun.
His last movie, a difficult role, Clark Gable is a macho cowboy who is really a broken man. The Misfits.
