Movie Reviewed: Too hot to handle (1938), starring Clark Gable and Myrna Loy

Too fast

This movie was released around the time when a national poll voted Clark Gable and Myrna Loy as the king and queen of Hollywood. This is a fast paced movie about a newsman who takes a great deal of risk taking aerial pictures during WWII with an aviatrix played by Myrna Loy. It's an action thriller following the pair's click in 'Test Pilot' produced by MGM during the same year (1938). It has excitement, glittering performances and a romantic mix. The movie was a tremendous success because of terrific cinematography and fast action. Myrna Loy's character is partly inspired by the life of Amelia Earhart. According to the studio records, the film earned $1,627,000 in the United States.
