Rating:  - Could have had a better selection.
The best DVD in this boxset is "San Francisco", an incredible movie with great DVD special features. The chemistry between Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald is pure magic.
My 3 star rating of this set is due to the selection of films contained in it. Boomtown wasn't bad, but it's kinda hokey. Wife VS secretary wasn't Gable's best either. This set would have been phenomenal if it included "Red Dust", "Mutiny on the bounty", and Gables final film "The misfits". While the selection of films aren't my favorite, I do appreciate the great special features in each of the DVD's.
Rating:  - Nice Collection of Gable Movies
Well-chosen selection of movies mostly from earlier in Gable's illustrious career (exception Mogambo, but that's quite a good exception). Highly recommended for fans of this Hollywood icon.
Rating:  - Love them all!
They are all great classics. I'm reminded how far film making has come while watching these. But, love the honesty and fun in all these films.
Rating: - The King
These movies of Clark Gable are a great reminder of how great an actor
this gentleman was. He was an inspiration to every young boy growing
up in the 30's, 40's snd 50's I was fortunate enough to have met him
and can honestly say that he was an extremely kind and sincere person.
There aren't any actors today that can ever match up to his acting or
charisma on the screen.
Rating: - Gable's other work...
All good films, some new to DVD ("San Francisco", "Wife Vs. Secretary", etc.), from Warner's MGM library. They all feature the usual great film transfers we've all come to expect from Warner Bros. However, "Wife Vs. Secretary" was transferred from a very poor print which was unfortunate because I found the film has an unusually good performance from Jean Harlow and has a great little story. The release of "San Francisco" is timely because of the 100th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake and fire. This has always been a favorite of mine. This collection is a good cross section of Gable's work and definitely deserves a first or second look!
