Three Great Stars: Clark Gable in Homecoming

on BBC One London

The films of three great screen actors - Tyrone Power , Spencer Tracy, and here Clark Gable
with Lana Turner, Anne Baxter John Hodiak

Gable's third film after his return from war service harks back to the stress of battle. He plays a sophisticated doctor with an attractive wife, a fashionable practice and a smug, comfortable existence who-in the army-finds his whole way of life brought into question by an attractive nurse.
Lana Turner plays the nurse with a quality of radiant intelligence - giving her romantic scenes with Gable an unexpected poignancy.
She is still a very lovely lady. You can see just how lovely in The Survivors series on Friday when she plays Tracy Carlyle Hastings.
