Movie
Movie #787 "Too Hot to Handle" was not a movie to my liking. I had read about it, and it followed the most enjoyable "It Happened One Night" on TCM last night (it was Clark Gable's night) so I thought I'd check into this one ---- I usually like both these actors, and oftentimes together (they've been together 7 times), but this is the least favorite of those pairings --- I felt he was doing what he does a lot --- speaking quickly, and confidently, and she was just checking in ---- the part didn't seem to fit her and the dialogue between the two seemed lacking --- the first part of the film took flight because the two guys (Gable and Pidgeon) were dealing in oneupsmanship, so the audience could laugh at the antics there, but then when Loy appears, the film seems to crash land (excuse the flight pun) immediately. I never made it to the end, must confess. fell asleep on this one. and I'm blaming it on the film.
Too Hot to Handle (1938) I'd give it 2 stars out of 5
