No Man of Her Own is the story of a glamorous small town girl (Carole Lombard) who longs to break free from her monotonous life as a librarian. She finds her escape when she meets Babe the gambler (Clark Gable) who makes his money by scheming with a few buddies. By the flip of a coin they are married, and they find it hard coping with each other's expectations. <br /> <br />This film is most widely known as the only film to star the famous couple of Lombard and Gable, often thought to be Gable's only real love. The two have great chemistry and are sufficient enough to have garnered further films together; it is strange they did not, especially after their marriage. <br /> <br />This early film utilizes some scandalous images later banned from the screen including Lombard in her underwear and Gable from the waist up in the shower. <br /> <br />The picture is great, and the film makes use of some really beautiful shots, especially those set in the library. <br /> <br />Overall, this is a good, highly entertaining romantic film.
Viewer Reviews Clark Gable plays a high-stakes gambler who decides to cool his heels in a small town near NYC when he feels the law breathing too close down his collar. There he meets Carole Lombard, the local librarian. They fall in love - at least she does, and they marry; Gable acts like it's a big joke. Of course, he gradually falls in love with her and even decides to turn himself in to the law. He's sentenced to three months in the slammer (he tells her he's going away to South America on business), and when he gets out, our happy couple is reconciled. The script is a good one, and the interplay between Gable and Lombard is lively and romantic. They really make a good pair, and it's a shame it was their only picture together, though they would marry in 1939. Worth a watch.
