Surprisingly unexciting race car drama with two top stars. Clark Gable plays a war hero turned successful race car driver. He wins races but not friends, with his gruff demeanor and recklessness on the track. When Gable's tactics during a race cause another driver's death, reporter Barbara Stanwyck writes a scathing piece on him that gets him banned from racing. The two then enter into a ridiculous and implausible romance.
Black & white helps the aging Gable. Stanwyck's character is completely unlikable. Ho-hum, predictable, and formulaic. A waste of two top talents, even if they are past their prime. Awful title, too.
