Wife vs. Secretary (1936)

The powerhouse cast gives us Clark Gable as a publisher, the lovely Myrna Loy as his wife, and the very sexy Jean Harlow as his efficient secretary.  The fourth lead is James Stewart, but this is an early role for him and his is really just a supporting part as Harlow's boyfriend.  Gable loves his wife and does not have designs on Harlow, but Loy can't help but worry when they spend so much time together.  That's about it, and since the end result is never really in doubt, it was no more than a pleasant but totally disposable entertainment.
