I probably enjoyed this movie more than most reviews here. The cast was familiar and a fun watch and about the early history days of horse racing was intriguing. I really enjoyed the interaction between the characters in the film.
Jean Harlow and Clark Gable were a fun pair to watch. And I love Lionel Barrymore in anything! He is really adorable in this role as Grandpa Clayton. I enjoy the scenes with him and Clark together as in reality they were life long friends and you could tell. Loved their naturalness. They were together in the early days of their stage careers. Lionel had a hand in bringing Gable to Hollywood. They did at least four films together. They would appear one last time together in Lionel's last known film Lone Star 1952.
They both were devastated by Jean's sudden death. It must of been hard for them to finish it. Jean and Gable were friends and to Lionel she was like a daughter from what I read. So that makes it a hard watch. Still I found it a fun for the most part. I thought it was a nice tribute to her.
