Clark Gable was the greatest heroic male star of his time and to think about him now, at the beginning of the 1970's, is to realize with sorrow and a double sense of loss how much we and the world have changed and how distant and uncomplicated his time already seems.
Good retelling of the life and films of Clark Gable but it would have been more interesting ton expand the section where his contemporaries wrote about him.
Part of a series of books from the 1960s, I believe, which have some biographical information on a famous actor followed by entries on every movie they appeared in, with plot information, photos, cast and production listings, and excerpts from contemporary reviews. Kind of like a low-tech imdb, but nice books. The reviews of the time they include are especially interesting.
