Description

Of course Linda Stanhope trusts her husband, Van. Their marriage is based on love and respect. Who cares if Van's secretary has the face of an angel and the body of a chorus girl? Who says a blonde bombshell can't type and take dictation? But people are whispering. And when Linda calls Van's hotel room late at night during his solo business trip to Havana, guess who answers. Four Golden Era greats -- Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy as the romantic triangle, and a lanky newcomer named James Stewart as Harlow's beau -- gild this sophisticated comedy-drama that takes a savvy look at men, women and love. Wife vs. Secretary: Guess who wins!

  • Favorite, favorite, favorite!
I watch this movie over and over because it's THAT good. What's so great, you ask? Let's go there - 1. Jean Harlow in what I think is her best role. She matured as an actress hugely and this is a part that is nothing like she's played before. If you've seen China Sea, Red Dust, and even Dinner at Eight, you know she had a 'type'. Sassy tart, basically. Girl from the wrong side of the tracks. But in this role - wow, what a difference. Right there, we just got a good look at what this woman was capable of. She plays the smart, sensitive secretary to Clark Gable, completely against her typecast, and she nails it. I think it's the best it's ever been. Watch her at the end when she knows she's sacrificing her own happiness for Myrna Loy's. Absolutely brilliant. I'm so sorry we never got to see her in more roles like this. 2. Clark Gable - that man is so cute I could just eat him up. He's so cute in this role and it is one of his best performances. Fast talking, fast working, hunky - what's not to love? 3. Myrna Loy - she is perfect as Clark's wife. Sweet, gentle, pretty - and her performance is top notch. Watch her go from the trusting wife and deteriorate with doubt. She's trying hard not to, but it's difficult to stop. Really love watching her. The supporting cast is great as well - it's just a fun movie all the way around, but the trio of Jean, Clark, and Myrna make it so worth watching. Those three were great friends in real life, too, and it shows. It makes this movie go beyond the norm. Both Myrna and Clark were some of the last people to see Jean before she died, by the way, so those friendships went deep. I think that's what makes this movie best of all - maybe they're really not acting. :) Watch and enjoy! ... show more

  • MOVIE: 5+ • VIDEO: 3.3 • AUDIO: 2.5
FORMAT: DVD UPC: 0-12569-79232-6 RELEASED: 2006-06-20 TITLE: Wife vs. Secretary (1936) • NR • 1:27:33 Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, James Stewart Clarence Brown (Director) Three of Hollywood's biggest stars of the 1930s (Gable, Harlow and Loy) in the same movie! Before we get too far into the review, now seems like a good time to remind you that while watching this movie (or any other classic movie, for that matter) it is best to keep in mind the era in which it was made — because, applying modern values and sensibilities to this movie will TOTALLY miss its point (and, very probably make you angry [or, otherwise offend you in some way])! Now, with that out of the way, I'm sure to women with modern ways of thinking, the character played by Clark Gable is like a mythical creature: a unicorn, for example — because, he is MADLY in love with wife, works to make HER happy, is generous and loving towards HER, and couldn't possibly imagine being with anyone else! So, imagine his dismay when his loving wife (Myrna Loy) — egged on by the whispering-in-her-ear of the small-minded, salacious and jealous females that surround her — requests that he get rid of his eminently qualified, and highly-intelligent, secretary (Jean Harlow, in a decidedly different kind of role for her); a woman, by the way, in whom he has no romantic (or sexual) interest. He refuses to do so — and, then (in typical comedic movie fashion) harmless events unfold that serve to validate his wife's (and the other, aforementioned, females) worst fears. Though this movie is an old-fashioned comedy, there are still a significant number of scenes that express some very wise (and, thought-provoking) comments on the nature (and necessity) of trust and understanding in a successful long-term relation. Also, while watching it, I would urge you to keep in mind the phrase "Love and Sacrifice" — because true love, as it is often said, means doing what's best for the object of your affection (even, if you don't directly benefit from it [probably, ESPECIALLY when you don't directly benefit from it]). With this in mind, particularly, when examining the actions of Whitey (Harlow) the secretary — especially towards the end of the movie — I'm sure that you will see this movie in a VERY interesting (and, VERY enjoyable) light. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. See the other reviews for more detail and/or other opinions regarding the plot of the movie. VIDEO: 1.33:1 • B&W • 480p • MPEG-2 (5.7 Mbps) Unfortunately this classic film is in desperate need of a major restoration and re-mastering. There are MANY instances of artifacts such as black specks and white dots — and, they appear very frequently and are often fairly large in size. Also, the image is a little soft and low in contrast, probably because of the age of the source elements. Picture quality is definitely NOT the best you'll ever see, but the movie is still (mostly) watchable. AUDIO: Dolby Digital 1.0 (192 Kbps) The dialog of this soundtrack is very clear and easily understood. However, dynamic range is limited, and there is not much bottom-end nor any top-end to speak of (which makes the musical score sound a little 'thin' and less than realistic). Otherwise, considering the age of the source elements and the fact that this is a monophonic, dialog-driven movie from the mid 1930s, this film's soundtrack has acceptable sound quality.
