Steve D @RT35616104 03/16/2023 The script isn't great and it plays a bit too much with reality but the actors do a great job of embodying the famous actors.

Brolin & Clayburgh have gained in prestige since appearing here and it no longer feels like they took two no-name actors & had them portray major movie stars. The finer details of the plot are less important as time passes as there've been more biopics that took creative liberties like this one does. More importantly, the comedy has likely only gotten better with time as they relied on slapstick & innuendo, which I can imagine hit a saturated market in '76 but is now rather refreshing. The movie did run a little long and they could've added more emotional heft to the death scene, but in all I really enjoyed watching this one! See more 09/04/2014 I really love this movie. I thought Jill Clayburgh was wonderful as Carole Lombard (if lacking the look a bit), and James Brolin had me doing a double take in a few parts. He really looks and sounds like Clark Gable. Some have said he is doing nothing more than a good impersonation of Clark, and didn't add enough creatively to make the character his own. But I believe that is all you can ask when you are portraying a person as distinctive as Clark was. He did a wonderful job, without turning his performance into a cliche caricature.

Keep up the good work ! .... Regards from Laura Daitch/ Germering Bavaria Germany (Formerly of Montreal Qc., Cdn.) See more 09/01/2012 Cool n' fun. But everyone seems to hate that movie... See more 03/29/2011 Obviously an attempt to make a film in the style of the 1930s, but the script is just terrible. See more Read all reviews
