Before Elvis was even born, another man was dubbed “the King,” and during his two-decade reign as Hollywood’s most popular male star, Clark Gable was the jewel in the crown of his home studio, M-G-M. Six of his most popular films are included in this handsomely packaged box set. In Dancing Lady (1933), Gable plays a tough taskmaster to an up-and-coming stage star (Joan Crawford, accompanied for one dance number by Fred Astaire in his debut role). China Seas (1935) finds Gable heading an all-star cast -- including Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery, Rosalind Russell, Lewis Stone, and Robert Benchley -- in a tense drama involving modern-day piracy aboard a Singapore-bound ocean liner. San Francisco (1936), arguably the gem of the box, teams Gable with Spencer Tracy and Jeanette MacDonald in a fanciful tale of Barbary Coast intrigue climaxing with an elaborate representation of the devastating 1906 earthquake. Harlow was back in Wife vs. Secretary (also 1936), a frothy trifle that exhibits Gable’s facility for comedy. He trades barbs with Spencer Tracy again in Boom Town (1940), a fast-moving yarn about oil wildcatters, with Claudette Colbert as the woman who comes between them. Over a decade later, Gable maintained his leading man status. Mogambo (1953) is actually a remake of his 1932 hit Red Dust, with sultry Ava Gardner taking the role played earlier by Jean Harlow. Arguably the last of his truly classic movies, this John Ford-directed opus spotlights an older but no less charismatic Gable at his virile best. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble
