Too Hot to Handle 9:05
“(Jack) Conway's funniest and most satirical comedy is Too Hot to Handle, in which Gable and Loy carry on a complex love-hate affair in a variety of locations from China to the Amazon jungles. Gable, cast to type as an unscrupulous and scheming newsreel cameraman, is first seen manufacturing film of the Sino-Japanese War, initially by shooting at Japanese planes to bring on an air raid, then, when this fails, faking one with a well-paid Chinese child.... Loy('s)...reputation is ruined by Gable in his search for a scoop. Breathlessly paced, witty and violent, this is one of the more acid comedies to have been produced by the Thirties.” John Baxter, Hollywood in the Thirties
