THE Girl

Sure, I've thought about it. Who hasn't? If I could ever meet the right sort of girl. Ahh, where you gonna find her? Somebody that's real, somebody that's alive! They don't come like that way anymore . Have I ever thought about it? Boy, I've even been sucker enough to make plans. You know, I saw an island in the Pacific once, never been able to forget it. That's where I'd like to take her. She'd have to be the sort of a girl who'd jump in the surf with me and love it as much as I did. Nights when you and the moon and the water all become one. You feel you're part of something big and marvelous. That's the only place to live. The stars are so close over your head you feel you could reach up and stir them around. Certainly, I've been thinking about it. Boy,if I could ever find a girl who was hungry for those things...

-Clark Gable

heard such a passage from Clark Gable's mouth, in stark contrast to him in Gone With the Wind. I think he is more lovable and lovable like this, and he has sincerity and cares about his pursuit. I can't wait to tear down the curtain for Claudette Colbert, take his hand, and say "I am THE girl!"

    That part of Gable running to the newspaper to ask the editor to give him money is too romantic! ! !

    This once successful classic, the hero and heroine at the time did not think so. Claudette Colbert was preparing for a trip to Europe; Clark Gable was punished for rejecting a script sent by the studio and ordered to make what must be a "failure". But who would have thought that they squeezed out the time to make this comedy that would win four Oscars and be famous for eternity.
