The first screen meeting of Clark Gable and Lana Turner is a lively, glossy, MGM drama that might well have been called The Con-Man and the Lady. Gable apart, the film is almost an index of the actresses who played those hard-hearted slinky blonde temptresses of the Forties. Lana Turner, Claire Trevor and Veda Ann Borg are all here. Albert Dekker is a splendidly nasty villain, and Turner's father is played with witty affability by that old MGM stalwart Frank Morgan. The story assumes epic proportions towards the end, giving Lana a chance to show the talent for emotive acting that she had already revealed in Ziegfeld Girl.
