Gable is the proprietor of an illegal gambling house. He's completed disconnected from his faithful loving wife and despondent son. All this, while dealing with a new diagnosed condition.The supporting case is stellar: Wendell Corey, Barry Sullivan, Audrey Totter, and Mary Astor. But, They're mere lampshades in this. Special note: William Conrad and Frank Morgan also play minor roles. The crux of this story relies heavily on Gable, his wife and son. Early in the movie, you have a sense that Gable is starting to feel regret in his line of work. Feels compassion for a young lady who pawned her wedding ring. Gable returns the money back to her.
This movie resonates about life's second chances. This is My second favorite Gable movie. Mogambo being 1.
