Plot Summary
Cynical newshounds cracking wise. Chorus cuties tapping Broadway tunes. A heavyweight battling his way to boxing glory. Boy-meets-girl romance. Snappy patter. Golden Era stars. For fans of classic '30s comedies, any of these elements means great fun. Well fans, Cain and Mabel has 'em all! The story follows prizefighter Larry Cain (Clark Gable) and hoofer Mabel O'Dare (Marion Davies), who fake a romance to drum up a little free publicity. They're both thinking careers, not romance. In fact, it's hate at first sight for the bruiser and the blonde, until a hot smooch over a skillet of sizzling pork chops changes them from sparring partners to just plain partners. But the tabloids aren't through with them yet....
Customer Reviews
Cain and Mabel-Gable and Davies
Funny and romantic- my kind of classic movie! Thoroughly enjoyed watching Gable be a man's man as well as handsome.Great supporting cast too.
Only minus is that Davies really doesn't sing-more of a pretty face. But they had good chemistry and I really enjoyed the dialouge.
Okay but drags in the middle
On the whole, a watchable and light hearted if predictable vehicle for Davies and Gable. However, the scenes depicted Mabel’s/Davies’ Broadway show drag. on. forever. This is a movie seriously in need of an editor. At least we have a fast forward button.
