Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Dunham16 To be honest neither Clark Gable nor Carole Lombard, in this film husband and wife on screen together enticed me as film performers. The movie seems well photographed and planned but by the time Clark and Carole had their long scene together about half way through I felt impelled to turn it off and plan not to see the second half. In my mind it is well made and edited though not for everyone a sort of cotton to it or not project.

JohnHowardReid This delightful romantic comedy/drama was directed with both style and polish by Wesley Ruggles. It also has sharp, zippy film editing, plus a script that observes its characters with a wry sophistication and a puckish sense of observational humor. Gable is perfectly cast. In fact, it is astonishing that even at this early date, we find his forthright acting style and his charming, easy-going movie manner in full flower. Miss Lombard, dressed and undressed to the nines, partners him perfectly. It's interesting that she actually married Gable seven years later (and as we all well know, he never ever, ever recovered from her death in a commercial plane crash on January 16, 1942, whilst returning from a Victory Bond tour for the U.S. government). To get back to this movie, Carole is actually run pretty close here by Dorothy MacKail. Grant Mitchell has a sizable role which he plays deftly. Other roles are also very competently played. The film also has the usual lavish Paramount production values, but these include slick, glossy, lustrously black photography which is most unusual for a Paramount movie. The studio usually favored soft focus and low contrast. Tover's style here was much in favor at 20th Century Fox in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Finally, but not least, I'd draw attention to the sparkling music score which was actually compiled from stock contributed by no less than four composers.

Armand one of films interesting only for cast. the story is a chain of conventions , the dialogs - unrealistic and entire story seems be an improvisation. the good part -the performance of Carole Lombard. the bad part - the end and Clark Gable in a role who uses to much the stereotypes. a movie interesting for the old flavor, for the romance - not remarkable but nice -, for few scenes - parts of the period sensitivity and, sure, for the atmosphere of a kind of fairy tale. far to be bad, it is confuse. its subject is absent, the bad good guy is fake but the desire of team to do a nice comedy is meritorious. against, maybe, the result.

blanche-2 Clark Gable and his great love, Carole Lombard, only made one film together - this one, "No Man of Her Own" - and they weren't even a couple. At the time of "No Man of Her Own," Lombard was married to William Powell, and Gable to a socialite named Maria Franklin. When he fell for Lombard a few years after this movie was made, it was some time before Franklin would give him a divorce.A mustacheless Gable plays a cheating card shark who, while on the lam, meets a librarian (Lombard) and marries her. He's not planning that it be permanent; along the way, they fall in love.Both stars are very good and have great chemistry. She's beautiful, and he's just one sexy devil with that smile and the way he looked at a woman. Pretty devastating, with or without the mustache. A great screen presence.Someone commented that had Lombard not died, she would have signed with MGM and been paired with Gable in more films. It would be wonderful to have them together more than once. In 1937, in fact, when Jean Harlow died during the making of "Saratoga," Gable recommended that she be replaced with Lombard. Lest anyone think that was insensitive - the situation of a star dying in the middle of a film was new to everyone, no one knew how it would be handled, and poor Gable thought he was helping. People back then didn't think in terms of leaving a legacy and last films. So we're stuck with the pre-code "No Man of Her Own." Not bad, not great, of interest because of its two stars.
