Since this is a blog about my personal film buff
experiences, it’s perhaps sacrilege to admit this but I’ve never liked GONE
WITH THE WIND. Granted my first and only exposure to it was when it ran on
network television in the seventies in two parts on two successive evenings but
I simply didn’t like it. Oh, I was impressed as all get out by its trappings—the
sets, the art direction, the color, the costumes, the spectacle. I just did not
care for a single character and didn’t like spending that much time with any of
them.
That said, I do most certainly do enjoy a good Clark Gable
film and here are my Top Ten favorites more or less in order.
RED DUST
IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
TOO HOT TO HANDLE
SAN FRANCISCO
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY
"It Happened One Night" is in the top tier of my favorite movies. Gable is funny and Colbert is easy on the eyes!
