DVD Reviews of No Man of Her Own (Universal Cinema Classics)
DVD Review: AHHHH The Chemistry...
Summary: 5 Stars
I give this film 5 stars simply for the chemistry shared by these cinema icons. If Gable moves in on Lombard any closer in this one they'll fall off the set. It's no megabucks production, but it's an opportunity to watch what we may never see again. Only Bogart and Bacall, and possibly Tracy and Hepburn, create make "this kind of magic"! No Man of Her Own (Universal Cinema Classics)DVD Review: Pleasing Early 1930s PARAMOUNT STUDIOS Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
For those of us who weren't around for this era, many see it as a cozy escapist time in America, because of the films made. Even with the very harsh realities of the Depression, Hollywood did a good job in making the 1930s a desired time to live for many. This film captures that spirit especially in the earlier small town scenes of Glendale. When we want to get away from today's challenges in life, "No Man of Her Own" is an example of the films that provide that opportunity to go to a "safer" place. It also provides the answer that love at first sight is not the only legitimate way to determine when two people are meant to be together. Obviously Gable and Lombard didn't flip over each other in 1932 even being pushed together in the romantic scenes. According to literature, it would be 1936 before this happened. I highly recommend "No Man of Her Own," one of Gable's best and lesser known movies.
DVD Review: "You'd be lovely to have around, just to sprinkle the flowers with your personality..."
Summary: 4 Stars
Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were one of the greatest Hollywood couples. Briefly married in 1939 (until Lombard's untimely death in 1942), they only ever starred in one movie together. NO MAN OF HER OWN was filmed in 1932 when both were married to different people; their relationship started shortly after the filming wrapped. In the movie we can observe the crackling chemistry which later crossed over into their personal lives.
In NO MAN OF HER OWN, Clark Gable plays Babe Stewart, a professional con man and cardshark who decides to get away from New York to avoid the prying eyes of a vice squad detective. In the small town of Glendale we meet Connie Randall (Carole Lombard), a librarian simply aching to leave the confines of her tight-knit community. On the toss of a coin, Connie and Babe get married, but when they return to New York, how will Babe explain his "profession" to his new bride?
This is a joyful romantic comedy with lots of sass and sparkle. Gable and Lombard will have you transfixed from the very moment they meet in the movie. The reason why they never made another film together was because Gable was contracted with MGM and Lombard spent the bulk of her career at Paramount. Clark Gable was briefly loaned out to Paramount to participate in NO MAN OF HER OWN (in exchange, Bing Crosby would cross over to MGM to star opposite Marion Davies "Going Hollywood"); so it was extremely difficult for Gable and Lombard to be reunited in another movie.
The DVD includes an all-new introduction from Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
DVD Review: Hot and yummy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh, this is so lovely for any fan of either Carole or Clark, and certainly someone like me who adores both of them. Sad they only had time to make one movie together. If you love the old classics, you have to see this one! Then find someone to love, quick, and....well....you know the rest!DVD Review: fine pre-code drama with Gable and Lombard
Summary: 5 Stars
No Man Of Her Own stars the great Clark Gable as Babe Stewart, a card shark and a crook cheating innocent people out of their money in "friendly little card games" with his buddies. Carol Lombard plays Connie Randall, a small town girl bored silly who marries Babe Stewart on the flip of a coin when he is in her small town to avoid "the heat" of the police chasing after him.
Fortunately, the plot gets better! After a somewhat slow start to establish this rather unlikely hasty marriage, Babe Stewart and his new wife Connie finally return to Babe's home town of New York. Eventually Connie gets wise to Babe's card shark ways and then comes "the" confrontation.
Of course, you may think I've said it all--but after Connie confronts Babe the plot has a lot of directions in which to travel. Will Babe reform? Will he kick Connie out of his life or give her "hush money" to keep her from squealing to the police? Will Connie join Babe and his buddies and become a part of the racket? And what about Babe's former girlfriend, the histrionic Kay Everly (Dorothy Mackaill) who threatens to jump off the balcony of Babe's high rise apartment if Babe doesn't return to her? Will Kay try to ruin Connie's affections for Babe? No spoilers here, folks--you'll have to watch the movie to find out the answers!
The choreography works well in the scenes where Connie is pursued in the library by Babe after they first meet; and the cinematography framed things well within the screen, too.
The DVD only has a brief introduction by Robert Osbourne of Turner Classic Movies; we get no deleted scenes or other special extras. Sorry, folks!
Overall, No Man Of Her Own is a much better film than some people will say. It held my attention very well. We get to see a very young Clark Gable working at his very best with his future wife Carol Lombard; and their onscreen chemistry works to enhance the picture.
I highly recommend this film for fans of pre-code drama; and people who are fans of Carol Lombard and Clark Gable will want to see this one, too.
Enjoy!
