| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's not worth much as melodrama, but the action sequences are highly entertaining. |
| User ReviewNathan GOkay, maybe this movie is a little bit corny, but I can't help it. I love it. I think Gable and Stanwyck actually have good chemistry. Her steeliness is a good foil to his magnetism. She plays wealthy and glamorous (again) and he plays reckless and dashing rogue. |
| User ReviewAj VThis movie has it's moments, but overall it's just another predictable love story with a bit of race car driving to make it exciting. |
| User ReviewKristal CI can't decide which was my favourite part: when Gable slaps then forcefully kisses Stanwyck or later on when Stanwyck gleefully says " you wanna hit me again?!" as a form of flirtation. Why are all of the women in Gable pictures such morons? Even the great racing sequences can't make up for the casual misogyny or general dopiness of the story. |
