Movies and TV - Clark Gable: Signature Collection (6 Disc) (One Color) - Electronics

Zappos.com is proud to offer the Movies and TV - Clark Gable: Signature Collection (6 Disc) (One Color) - Electronics: Five of the best movies of the dashing and talented screen legend Clark Gable are gathered together in this collection. The titles included are: BOOM TOWN, CHINA SEAS, DANCING LADY, MOGAMBO, and SAN FRANCISCO. Overview ; BOOM TOWN: Two rough-and-tumble wildcatters strike it rich in the dusty oil fields of Oklahoma. Not much of a story here but good star performances make it worthwhile. This was nominated for an Academy Award for Best (Black-and-White) Cinematography and Best Special Effects, so why bother with the colorized version? ; China Seas: A soggy blend of adventure, comedy and romance on the high seas, but what a cast! Gable pilots a steamer plying the China seas, where in one tumultuous journey he fights off pirates, foul weather and the advances of a blonde bundle of trouble known as China Doll. ; DANCING LADY: Crawford and Gable star in the story of a young burlesque dancer seeking stardom on Broadway while being romanced by two boyfriends. Mostly noted as the screen debuts of Astaire and Eddy (it even features a hilarious early appearance by the Three Stooges!). Includes songs by Burton Lane and Rodgers and Hart -- one even sung by Clark. ; MOGAMBO: Clark Gable reprises his role as veteran big-game trapper and guide Vic Marswell in John Ford\'s remake of RED DUST, the actor\'s 1932 hit. After a brief fling with Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner), an adventurer temporarily stranded in Kenya, Vic is hired as a guide by British anthropologist Donald Nordley (Donald Sinden)--who has come to study the gorilla--and his wife, Linda (Grace Kelly). Linda is immediately attracted to Vic and begins flirting with him furiously, behavior that goes unnoticed by her preoccupied husband but not the jealous Eloise, who manages to get in a few verbal jabs at dinner. While walking through the jungle, Vic saves Linda from an attacking panther, and although she tacitly offers herself to him, he passes. As the group\'s safari heads into gorilla country, the sexual tension between Vic and Linda increases, but her husband\'s absorption in simian affairs prevents repercussions. However, the gorillas do not reciprocate Donald\'s interest, and when one of them attacks the scientist, Vic has a chance to be rid of his mild-mannered rival. One of Ford\'s least typical projects, this comedy of jungle manners includes none of his characteristic themes, but the sardonic John Lee Mahin script, the easy rapport between Gable and Gardner, and the striking photography of the African veldt make it a film well worth watching. ; SAN FRANCISCO: SAN FRANCISCO was one of the most successful picture of the 1930s, and the sources of its popularity are readily apparent to this day. Both Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy are excellent, with Gable playing Blackie Norton, a dashing, brawling, gambler with a big heart, and Tracy playing Nob Hill snob Jack Talbot, who vies with Blackie
