This 1986 comedy out of Australia is so old-fashioned in its romantic charm that one can't help but wonder what it would have looked like with Clark Gable and Carole Lombard in the leads. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Paul Hogan as the title character, a laid-back Aussie tracker who shows an American reporter (Linda Kozlowski) around bush country, then accompanies her to New York City.

Swing High Swing Low is a new coat of paint on the old stage play Burlesque, first filmed in 1929 as The Dance of Life. Ex-serviceman Skid Johnson (Fred MacMurray) rises to the uppermost rungs of show business as a bandleader. As his fame swells, so does his head, and he becomes impossibly arrogant, forgetting the friends who helped him get to the top -- not to mention his ever-faithful sweetheart, band vocalist Maggie King (Carole Lombard). Consuming great quantities of booze, Skid hits the skids, ending up a skid-row derelict (there seems to be a pattern here). The ultimate humiliation comes when he isn't even allowed to return to the Army because his insides are shot. In the film's calculatedly teary finale, Skid is rescued emotionally and professionally by Maggie, now a big star in her own right. As indicated by the synopsis, the film is banal and old-hat, but the stars are terrific, especially Carole Lombard, who sings in several scenes (and not all that badly!) Swing High, Swing Low was remade in 1948 as When My Baby Smiles at Me. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

One of the landmark "screwball" comedies of the 1930s, My Man Godfrey offers the radiant Carole Lombard in her definitive performance as flighty young heiress Irene Bullock, who on a society scavenger hunt stumbles on Godfrey (William Powell), an erudite hobo residing in the city dump. Godfrey becomes the family's butler, much to the dismay of Irene's father Alexander (Eugene Pallette), who thinks his household is crazy enough without another apparent lunatic under his roof. Halfway through the film, we discover that Godfrey isn't a penniless bum at all, but the scion of a wealthy Boston family. Having been burned by an unhappy romance, Godfrey dropped out of life, taking up residence in the dump. Here his faith in humanity was restored by his fellow indigents, who managed to survive and remain optimistic despite the worst deprivations. Meanwhile, however, he wants to straighten out the Bullock family, who he feels are a basically decent bunch beneath all their pretensions and eccentricities -- and along the way, of course, Irene determines that Godfrey will be her husband. While Godfrey's ultimate "solution" to the exigencies of the Depression seems more of a placebo, My Man Godfrey is all in all a totally satisfying jolt of 1930s-style wish fulfillment. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Nominated for six Academy Awards, My Man Godfrey is the quintessential Great Depression diversion film and a boisterous, subtle, and powerfully acted comedy. Masterful actor William Powell is a bum whose life gets irrevocably changed upon meeting the piercingly beautiful Carole Lombard, a rich heiress. Lombard finds Powell intriguing and sets him up as the butler for her large and chaotic household. The contrast between Powell s derelict but hopeful homeless friends and the wealthy family that he is brought into is drastic, and allows for some insightful social commentary. But not to be bogged down in anything too serious, My Man Godfrey is a laugh a minute all the way to its feel good climax. Few films attain such soaring heights as this gem from the early days of talking cinema.

ditsy socialite with a heart of gold, Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) finds "forgotten man" Godfrey Smith (William Powell) in a scavenger hunt. Eventually Godfrey is taken in as the family butler for the Bullocks and screwball antics and romance ensue.

Jimmy Stewart plays a young lawyer John Mason. Who marries Jane Mason (Carole Lombard) after knowing her for just one day.

What happened to Clark Gable after the death of Carole Lombard in January 1942 Many say that Clark was never the same. In honor of Carole he volunteered for the Army Air Corps in August of that year rising to the rank of Captain and earning the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was discharged in 1945. Visibly aged he returned to the screen that year to much fanfare. He continued making films through the late 1940 s but his career never regained its previous status. In 1949 he married Lady Sylvia Ashley but the marriage was ill fated. They divorced in 1952. In 1954 he parted ways with MGM his home studio for over twenty years. Around that time he reconnected with a former flame Kay Williams. They married in 1955. Finally content in his personal life he continued making films through the late 1950 s. His final film appearance was in the drama The Misfits costarring Marilyn Monroe also her final film appearance . Clark died of a heart attack at a Los Angeles hospital on November 16 1960 ten days after filming was completed. He was 59 years old. He was laid to rest next to Carole in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Kay gave birth to his only son at the same hospital four months later.

Clark Gable: the country boy who inherited John Gilbert's mantle as top male star at MGM when the latter has his career destroyed by the advent of talking pictures. Clark was affectionately dubbed "The King of Hollywood"...
