It is a succession of views of two agreeable, players— Joan Oawlfoitl and Clark Gable—against gorgeous backgrounds. As Diane, ■ a modern Manhattan, miss, Joan Crawford brings a new and j vivid characterisation t () tho screen Clark Gable holds np his end with moro than sufficient skill and charms as Mike, a likeable young rancher in South America.
