2.Red Dust [1932] starring: Victor Fleming|Clark Gable|Jean Harlow|Gene Raymond

VHS : Red Dust [1932]
The 1932 film "Red Dust," the first cinematic pairing of platinum blonde Jean Harlow and the virile Clark Gable, is obviously inspired by the success of Somerset Maugham's "Rain." Once again we have a fallen woman, Vantine Jefferson (Harlow), a Saigon prostitute, running from the police who hides out on an Indo-China rubber plantation run by an unshaven Dennis Carson (Gable). Harlow's character talks tough, but she is a sizzling sexpot (this is the film where she takes a bath in a rain barrel). Gable had achieved stardom by slapping around Norma Shearer in "A Free Soul," and he gives Harlow's character the same sort of treatment. She sasses him back while vamping like crazy. Soon he falls for her and tries to get her to accept money so ... Read More:

3.It Happened One Night [1934] starring: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Jameson Thomas

VHS : It Happened One Night [1934]
"It Happened One Night" is one of the most enduring of romantic comedies. Released in 1934, its black and white images are iconic - Gable & Goddard hitching is a classic scene, but there are many others from the film which have an unforgettable cachet. Set against the realities of the Depression, Frank Capra delivers a distinct feel-good quality; this was a film which attracted a huge popular audience.

Claudette Colbert plays a beautiful heiress who has married a lounge-lizard society type against the wishes of her father. Father keeps daughter locked up on his yacht while he pursues nullification of the marriage, but Colbert escapes and sets off on a bus ride back to her husband in New York. She has never done anything ... Read More:

VHS : San Francisco [1936]
Must have been one of the first great disaster movies. Great preformance from Clarke Gable playing the rouge and his friend the Priest played by Spencer Tracey. The movie centres around the disater of the earth quake that did hit the city in the early 1900s however the build up to the event is brillent and the special effects and footage of the quake as good as anything you would view today. I recommend this movie to all who love a film with a good plot and plenty of action.

VHS : Run Silent, Run Deep [1958]
Robert Wise author of such wonderful classic musicals as "West Side Story" and " The Sound of Music was also the director of this suspenseful war film, one of the best in that sub-genre of Submarine movies! Starring Burt Lancaster and Clark Gable as the veteran Sub Captain, "RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP" reveals some interesting similarities with the classic "Mouitiny on the Bounty" plot but this time with a simpatetic Captain that in the end comes off rigth. Great actors, good story filled with suspense and dramatic action this is a 50ths classic not to be missed!

VHS : The Misfits [1961]
As the story opens, Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe) has just arrived in Reno to get a quickie divorce. She meets Guido (Eli Wallach), a sensitive mechanic and his pal Gay (Clark Gable), an aging cowboy. Both men fall in love with the beautiful, child-like blonde, and she ends up living with Gay in Guido's house. The men take Roslyn out the desert to go "mustangin'," but she's horrified when she learns the purpose of their trip.

This story is about four aimless and rather pathetic people who have nothing to do and no place to do it in. They're just drifting through life and for a short time, they drift together. Gable is outstanding as the rugged old cowpoke who still wants a woman's touch. He takes manly command of every scene and is charisma personified. ... Read More:

VHS : Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)
I have to disagree with Amazon's review of this amazing film. To say the film simply isn't there is ludicrous. This is one those films you watched by accident on BBC2 during a rainy Saturday afternoon and never forgot. Trevor Howard is ice cold as the notorious Captain Bligh with Marlon Brando as the self styled Fletcher Christian with, in my opinion, a near flawless English accent and gushing with wit and charisma. Although the running time is a whopping 178 minutes, it's a very short three hours. It's absorbing from the very beginning and just makes you wonder how they made such a massive picture. The aspect ratio is annotated as 2.40:1 but it looks more like 2.70:1. I've never seen anything like it. If you love high adventure, sharp-dialogue, amazing visuals and a fine cast ... Read More:
