    Saratoga (1937)

    This is NOT one of the better Gable and Harlow pictures because this was the movie that Jean Harlow died in. The last third of the film Jean Harlow's screen double's back is to us or hidden behind a floppy hat or a racing form. Most studios would have simply re...( read more)-shot the movie, or trashed it, but the Jean Harlow fans demanded to see this movie and it was more of a success than if Harlow had lived to complete the movie.

    Saratoga is basically, a horse race movie. Sly rogue, Duke Bradley (Gable) is a bookie who buys a horse for Grandpa Clayton (Lionel Barrymore), to the discussed of his Granddaughter, Carol Clayton (Harlow). Carol's fiancé, Harley Madison (Walter Pidgeon) is a thankless roll. You know that Gable is going to get the girl.

    Frank Morgan, Hattie McDaniel and Una Merkel also star.

    Really a nothing film, no more special then any of the hundreds churned out by Metro, albeit with a top flight cast, one far better then the material deserved. Of interest most since Jean died during filming and you sort of can't help watching and picking out the scenes where the...( read more)y used a double, most are easy to see, a rather ghoulish viewing experience.

    Such a fluffy plot, but a viewer just can't help but enjoy watching Clark Gable steal Jean Harlow from Walter Pidgeon. This is a staple of 1930s popular cinema.

    Sadly, Harlow's last flick, which she didn't get to complete and a double had to be used. About a bunch of horse lovers that go around from track to track. Watch for Hattie McDaniel in this movie as well.
