5.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked classic, February 26, 2003

This review is from: Wife Vs Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are several reasons why this is one of my favorite classic movies. Clark Gable is charming as a publisher who runs into trouble when his relationship with his secretary (Jean Harlow) leads to misunderstandings with his wife (Myrna Loy). Jean Harlow gives perhaps one of her best performances in an unusual (for her) "good girl" role as Whitey, the secretary who secretly loves Gable but ends up helping to save his marriage. Myrna Loy is also her usual wonderful self as Gable's wife; the scenes between Loy and Gable are delightful. Jimmy Stewart also shines in a small role as Harlow's boyfriend. There's drama, romance, and even a bit of comedy---everything you could ask for in one of the old Hollywood classics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nora Charles versus Platinum Blonde, August 27, 2001

This review is from: Wife Vs Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A tough choice for executive Clark Gable, poor fella! He thinks he has the best of both worlds: a wonderful wife, Myrna Loy, and a really great secretary, Jean Harlow. And he's on the up and up--no funny business with the secretary, strictly business. Then folks start putting ideas in Myrna's head, and before you know it, Bang! is Clark in trouble. An enjoyable movie, which makes the audience wonder if Clark will indeed take up with the secretary, since he and Harlow had been the romantic interest in movies before. Settle yourself by the ringside and see which lady gets the Gable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Film with Fine Performances from Great Cast, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wife Vs Secretary [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Wife Vs. Secretary is an example of a film that was written with very realistic relationships in mind. Clark Gable is top notch and Jean Harlow shows her dramatic range as a highly efficient sectretary. Myrna Loy plays the wife who trusts her husband until... Think about the times that you have had to work late or out of town for your company on a project you couldn't even tell your spouse about yet! Of course there is a mother in law and a boyfriend to add to the dramatic tension. This is one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen in years. The chemistry between these top stars is a joy to observe. This film is well worth tracking down and owning.
