“This rollicking tale of two roustabouts--Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy--is a perfect example of the greatness that was MGM. The story is simple and fascinating--the cut-throat rivalry of two on-again, off-again friends as they each attain success in the boom-bust world of the '30s oil industry. Gable is slick, brash, charming and a bit of a scoundrel. Tracy is his dogged conscience and disillusioned pal. Of course Tracy's in love with Gable's long suffering wife--Claudette Colbert--while Gable is snared by the smoldering Hedy Lamarr at her most beautiful. The all-star leads and superb MGM supporting cast bring this melodrama resplendently to life. A big box office hit.” --Diane Gysbers
