Thanks for the recommendations. The one I'd only been vaguely aware of is Homecoming and, from what I've been able to gather, it sounds like something I'd be very interested in. Either TCM doesn't show it often or my eyesight must have failed me when reading the schedules, but I'll definitely check it out. I like Betrayed, with an earthier Lana than we usually get to see, or maybe it's just the cropped brunette hair in the European style like Loren and Lollobrigida? I think it suffers a little from Victor Mature's overly broad performance, but the suspense works well.

But there is a scene in which their characters randomly bump into each other, which really has nothing to do with either storyline. And I suspect the actresses, who were eager to work together again, asked that a quick little scene be inserted so they could reunite on screen. It's quite interesting from a Hollywood history point of view, seeing them in that scene as older gals, far from their 40s starlet days. It would be Lana's last screen role, and Anne died later that year, while appearing on Hotel.
I know the thread is about Lana Turner & Clark Gable, not Lana Turner & Anne Baxter. But a lot of these long Hollywood careers were built on the various relationships and screen partnerships that occurred with established stars. |
