Plump body, thin performance

Looking at the reason why Gable and Monroe’s only collaborative film was the last work of the two before their death.

Most of the first half of the movie has a loose rhythm. It looks like a procrastinating life romance. Especially Monroe’s performance is really nothing to look at. She is really plump, a very beautiful big V-neck dress, which sets off her sleek bust and sensual back. The plump buttocks are also wrapped up.

But she The performance is really dull and blunt. Carrying the lines dumbly, the expression is single, or it is the eye that teases the man.

In comparison, Gable is a drama, even if he is running six, he is still a tough figure with an angular face, like an eagle's eyes.

Until the final stage of the film The show just started. A scene where three men surrendered to six wild horses was thrilling. The unruly nature of the wild horses brought out the masculinity of the three men. Gable's challenge to the wild horses alone looked the most exciting. The taste of American western cowboy is incisive and vivid.

On the contrary, the subject of the film is vague and far-fetched. It's a pity that the starring of the beauty Monroe didn't give extra points to the film, and only played the role of a vase.
