Gable & Lombard

The Secrets They Kept for Love

Omschrijving

Carole Lombard was famous for breaking hearts and her zany antics, while Clark Gable was a womanizer and a drinker; however, he was also wildly popular for his good looks and sensual energy on the big screen. Gable & Lombard is storytelling that spreads out a sweeping description of sensational romance during the Golden Age of Hollywood, a time of sinful liaisons, manipulations, and murder. This was an era when superstars found themselves highly vulnerable to the relentless demands of studio empires, forced to follow the unrealistic and unpredictable whims of overbearing head honchos. And for anyone to say that these celebrities were blessed with riveting glamour is very far from the truth. Carole Lombard and Clark Gable were two such stars attempting to live within the boundaries set down by these movie moguls. Within this bold, fast life, Carole fell in love with Clark, wanting it all, the real fairy tale. And it may have been that Clark was unable to commit to that. Perhaps happiness for him could be found in a fishing pole and a can of worms, or relaxing in his favorite chair, drinking bourbon and water, and smoking his beloved pipe. But despite the romance's kinship with tragedy, often brutish and heartbreaking, it was one of the most devoted sorts, standing out even today and marking it as a true love story for all ages.
