Even back in 1941, nice girls fell in love with bad boys. And even back in 1941, movies were made to celebrate this fantasy, showing that if you're incredibly beautiful, persistent, and devious, you can tame the wildest beast. For every girl who's ever loved the bad boy, rent Honky Tonk to live out your fantasy.
Lana Turner, believe it or not, started her career playing good girls, and she's very cute and sweet in this early comedy. Clark Gable plays a wide-smiling, slick con man, who's used to loving and leaving as he moves his way across the Wild West. He meets his match with Lana, who is just as cunning as she is innocent. Clark tries to get her drunk one night, but it's he who drinks too much, and he wakes up in her bedroom with quite a shock. Lana's loving and affectionate, but she's also wearing a gold band on her finger!
This one's cute and harmless, so don't expect it to be the great emotional movie of the decade. It's a little romantic comedy with a pretty girl and one of the biggest box office draws of the silver screen. Still, for fans of the woman-behind-the-man theory, you'll probably want to rent it.
