Review of Forsaking All Others (1934) by Allan C — 18 Jan 2014
Joan Crawford in a screwball comedy? This seems even weirder than when she awkwardly danced with Fred Astaire. Joan is again paired with Clark Gable (who I'm still not a big fan of) and the two are set to be married.
Robert Montgomery plays her childhood best friend who is set to be the best man, so I'm sure you can guess that a comic love triangle ensues. W.S. Van Dyke (The Thin Man) directed the film from a script by the great Joseph L.
Mankiewicz (All about Eve). Since I'm not a big fan of Gable or Crawford, I can't help but think I'd have liked the film a whole lot more if the leads were someone like Cary Grant and Myrna Loy instead.
