Director: Victor Fleming
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The archetypal steamy melodrama, with Gable as the boorish-but-sexy manager of a rubber plantation in Indo-China who falls for platinum prostitute Harlow, despite a moment of adulterous lust for cool-but-I'm-burning-up-inside Mary Astor. So excessive that some of it turns camp, and rampantly sexist, but you can see why the Depression audiences flocked.Author: CA
