Gable and Lombard has nothing to say about the movies, about love, or about stardom. It has no point of view whatever. The movie represents upwardly mobile nostalgia -- nostalgia used for its safeness, its uncontroversial, Ford-era nothingness.

The movie takes a fan-magazine approach to filmmaking - it's all dressing rooms and autograph hounds and world premieres.

If they were out to prove how dull a life of glamour can be, they've done it.

Gable and Lombard goes for the cheap shot at every opportunity and cheats itself of poignancy with its own sense of self-importance.
