[QUOTE="Toni, post: 312237, member: 82"] Last night I watched a Crawford (so to say): "Forsaking All Others", a 1934 comedy also starring Clark Gable & Robert Montgomery, and with others like Billie Burke and Rosalind Russell in minor roles. I had never seen it and enjoyed it so much! It´s not too long and Crawford wears some fascinating gowns by Adrian. She looks perfect and her acting is flawless: no doubt she already knew how Gable functioned (in more senses than one!). There are also a few things that the recently created censoring Code didn´t seem to bother: - In one of the scenes, two of the characters pose as a gay couple who wants to spend a weekend in a cabin in the forest. - In another, these characters enjoy the pleasures of a bathhouse! - Then, in a couple of scenes, one of the male stars gets out of the shower and his valet gives him the towel! - Also, there are some glimpses of the future: for example, in one scene, an angry Crawford uses an axe ("Strait-jacket", anyone?). All in all, it is a funny, elegant, well-acted comedy that is not a classic, but it was written by none other than J.L. Mankiewicz, the man who "brought us" "All About Eve"!
