Description

Ruby (Harlow) is a cynical blonde who is not above swindling her dates. When con man Eddie Hall (Gable) barges into her life, Ruby knows she's met her soul mate. She and Eddie set about a partnership in small-time crime, but a routine scheme goes bad, and Ruby ends up in a reformatory. In every kind of trouble, she's sure Eddie has deserted her. But she's changed him in ways she never suspected. Cowritten by Anita Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and Howard Emmett Rogers, and directed by Sam Wood (Our Town), Hold Your Man is a vivid, authentic portrayal of thirties life on the lam and the timeless, redemptive power of love.

  • Pre-code sizzler; VHS transfer quality very poor
"Hold Your Man" is a good example of what the Hays Production Code did to Hollywood films. Almost overnight films went from being racy and funny and risque (but never vulgar, unlike many of today's films) to squeaky-clean fare, where violence was kept to a minimum and sex, especially among women, was practically non-existant. 'Hold Your Man' is a good example of a pre-Code film. Harlow is white-hot, Gable is irresistable, the dialogue is packed with innuendo and many characters and ideas pop up in the film that would not be seen again (or at least portrayed fairly) in American film for decades: A fully-rounded, three-dimensional black character; a socialist; marital abandonment and unwanted pregnancy. Now on to the VHS transfer itself: it is just a pitiful state. The audio hisses and the volume must be turned up high to properly hear the dialogue; the film looks dark and dusty and scratched. It is a stark contrast to the bright, clean look of the DVD version of "Dinner At Eight", also starring Harlow, released about a year ago. After "Hold Your Man", Jean Harlow would become perhaps the biggest female star, certainly the biggest female star at MGM, of the 1930s. Her popularity was enormous; some have credited Harlow's films with keeping MGM in the black (in fact, the only studio to regularly show a profit) in the dark days of the Depression. The Harlow/Gable combo was a box-office goldmine; they were paired several times throughout the 30s in other mega-hits including "Red Dust" (not yet on DVD); "China Seas" (not yet on DVD); "Wife vs. Secretary" (not yet on DVD); and finally "Saratoga", during production of which Harlow would collapse and suddenly die, of what was revealed to be kidney failure. "Saratoga" is not on DVD. Why the dearth of Harlow DVDs? I urge the readers of this review to write Warner Bros (who now issues the DVDs she appears in) to ask if they have any plans on releasing more of Harlow's excellent catalog of film on DVD. ... show more

  • Vintage Harlow and Gable
Having unaccountably become fascinated with Harlow, I had to have this, which brings my collection of her movies to seventeen. This isn't the best or the worst of them, but it's corny and good fun, and the two stars wisecrack their ways into and out of trouble, and there's a happy ending. When MGM realized they had a goldmine in Harlow, they grabbed hurriedly written scripts and rushed them into production. The script is the weakest link in Hold Your Man, but if you just go with it, it hangs together and it's all good fun. Harlow's gown, when first she removes her coat, will make you burst out laughing. Or, at least, it did me. The video and audio are both of very high quality. ... show more

  • Great entertainment!
Okay, it’s quite dated, but the story is still great fun. And for no other reason, you’ll enjoy seeing Harlow and Gable together in their prime.

  • Gable at his best
Love Clark Gable to death. When he is into his characterizations, there is no one better, not even Gary Cooper. There is a very compelling scene in which he really connects with another actor who plays the part of an minister trying to marry Jean Harlow and himself. The actor happens to be African American. The interplay between Gable and the minister is so compelling( as I said earlier), that you get the feeling Gable had a particular afinity for his black cast members. Having read Gable's bio, you hear this over and over. His respect and friendship with Butterfly McQueen, and Hattie McDaniel from the cast of Gone With The Wind are other examples of his real character beyond the screen. ... show more

  • CLARK GABLE is the STARring Man
Gable, really lights up the screen in this old film. He was a BIG, TALL man.which increases his height and his state presence. The costumes are fabulous. Storyline is ok. I love the way he commands the viewer and holds them to his side. A true actor of the silver screen.

  • A soft lens for the Depression
Raw? I don't think so. A comedy? I don't think so. It is still a very satisfying movie to watch when you want to see a romance. Clark Gable is Clark Gable. Jean Harlow is Jean Harlow. They both just take over every scene in which they appear. The reformatory for women is like a boarding school. At which women learn to sew and make angel food cake. They are deprived of cigarettes - sheer torture in those days. But really, the terrible matrons aren't so terrible. They have soft hearts and reek of dignity and integrity. Skip ahead decades to the age of 'Justified' and watch women's prison life depicted. Complete with shivs and sexual abuse. Now, that's what I call 'raw.' ... show more

  • This movie made me a Harlow fan.
Hold Your Man is such a good movie. It's full of old Hollywood drama and Jean Harlow and Clark Gable are great in this. Yes, it is corny because there are old school attempts at grity drama but they try to keep the Hollywood in it so it is a bit cheesy at times; but not annoingly so. Clark Gable without his mustache looks a whole lot like a young George Clooney and Jean Harloe will make you want to bleach your hair and she does flex her acting chops in this. This is a great movie to own if you are a fan of Harlow and Gable and it is good to have if you just like old movies. ... show more
