Clark Gable: The Signature Collection

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Named as the seventh greatest actor on AFI's List of "50 Greatest Screen Legends," Clark Gable reigned supreme as a screen icon during the 1930's and 40's. Six of Gables 75 feature films are remastered and now available on DVD in the new "Clark Gable: The Signature Collection." Includes: "Boom Town," "China Seas," "Dancing Lady," "Mogambo," "San Francisco" and "Wife Vs. Secretary." "Boom Town" - In this pyrotechnics-filled film classic, the only things bigger than the adventure are the four stars: screen giants Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy as the oilmen and Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamarr as the women in their tumultuous lives. As the foursome struggle through the personal upheaval of love and loyalties, wealth comes a gusher and a rig bursts into a screen-filling inferno that could turn dreams to dust. No wonder "Boom Town" boomed at the box office, too, as the biggest moneymaker of 1940. "China Seas" - Rugged Captain Alan Gaskell (Clark Gable) sails the perilous waters between Hong Kong and Singapore with a secret cargo: a fortune in British gold. That's not the only risky cargo he carries. Both his fiery mistress (Jean Harlow) and his refined fiancee (Rosalind Russell) are aboard! With their wisecracking banter, gutsy glamour and dynamic physicality, Gable and Harlow prove once again that they were the '30s most scorching screen pair in this rough-and-tumble tale of the sea. "Dancing Lady" - A Broadway chorine (Joan Crawford) needs a little help with her hoofing, so her dance director (Clark Gable) gets an idea. A good idea. "Do you feel like going through that opening number with Mr. Astaire?" And Fred Astaire, making his screen debut, shows the lady how it's done. Three film icons give the backstage musical a jolt of superstar electricity in a song and dance and romance-filled extravaganza featuring support by Nelson Eddy, Robert Benchley and "The Three Stooges" and tunes by Rodgers and Hart, Burton Lane, Dorothy Fields and more musical greats.
