It's interesting because it really treads the thin line between cute and heavy, but sometimes the line blurs a little too much for comfort. But hey, Clark Gable sings Puttin' on the Ritz.

Enjoyable if dated comedy/drama with Norma giving an amusing Garboesque take on her character. Gable's famous performance of Puttin' on the Ritz is memorable because he is so easygoing and game. Good supporting cast and assured direction also contribute to making this a pleasant diversion. Try and see the version with the international and far better ending.

WWII + Gable+ Gable singing! Add Norma Shearer for more MGM star power.

Gable interestingly (because he's not what you call your first choice for this kind of role) plays a showbiz hoofer, back from WW1 and on the lookout for any job he can tag. Norma Shearer plays vaudeville carny performer. They meet for one night of love and then part, only to meet up again years later in Europe at the outbreak of WW2. Robert Sherwood concocted this basically anti-war message film but it seems to bear the imprint of many other hands and too many cooks... For instance, Shearer's kooky traveling artist persona grates on the nerves and one wishes Gable, ever a rock, would shut her up just once. Here is a mighty effort, although to no avail. Or in conventional terms: a bomb.

Idiot's Delight (1939) -- [4.5] -- Clark Gable and Norma Sheerer play a pair of ambitious, odd-ball dreamers who fall in love during the start of WWII. Both are playing broad comedy. Shearer is pretending to be a Russian countess most of the movie, while Gable is trying to lead his all girl review to fame and fortune. I like both actors, but I didn't like them together in this movie. I was apathetic to their causes and their relationship. I could tolerate the modest dose of war propagandizing. It's interesting that there are two different endings for the movie (TCM played both), a happier one for the domestic release, and a more sobering one for international audiences (many of whom were already at war at the time). I think this might also be the only movie you'll see Clark Gable sing or dance, and this is a good thing.
