Description

Ruby (Harlow) is a cynical blonde who is not above swindling her dates. When con man Eddie Hall (Gable) barges into her life, Ruby knows she's met her soul mate. She and Eddie set about a partnership in small-time crime, but a routine scheme goes bad, and Ruby ends up in a reformatory. In every kind of trouble, she's sure Eddie has deserted her. But she's changed him in ways she never suspected. Cowritten by Anita Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and Howard Emmett Rogers, and directed by Sam Wood (Our Town), Hold Your Man is a vivid, authentic portrayal of thirties life on the lam and the timeless, redemptive power of love.

  • A GREAT movie for Clark Gable, Jean Harlow fans.
This is a great movie, especially if you like Clark Gable, or Jean Harlow. I personally prefer movies from the early 1930's, especially "pre-code" It's actually hilarious the things that couldn't get past the dreaded, "Hays Code." Movie's from that era are just classics. No nudity, swearing, interracial couples, homosexuality, the WORLD was just such a different place back then. Plenty of cigarettes and alcohol though. Somehow, those were acceptable, and EVERYBODY smoked! This is your basic Boy meets Girl type, and the things they go through to be together, I have probably watched it 100 times, yet still notice something different every time I watch it. She (Harlow) actually ends up in Prison, and there is a great scene when Gable comes to the prison to visit her, but visits his EX so it doesn't appear that Gable and Harlow are together. If you like old movies, this one definitely won't disappoint. ... show more

  • Vintage Harlow and Gable
Having unaccountably become fascinated with Harlow, I had to have this, which brings my collection of her movies to seventeen. This isn't the best or the worst of them, but it's corny and good fun, and the two stars wisecrack their ways into and out of trouble, and there's a happy ending. When MGM realized they had a goldmine in Harlow, they grabbed hurriedly written scripts and rushed them into production. The script is the weakest link in Hold Your Man, but if you just go with it, it hangs together and it's all good fun. Harlow's gown, when first she removes her coat, will make you burst out laughing. Or, at least, it did me. The video and audio are both of very high quality. ... show more

  • Pre-code sizzler; VHS transfer quality very poor
"Hold Your Man" is a good example of what the Hays Production Code did to Hollywood films. Almost overnight films went from being racy and funny and risque (but never vulgar, unlike many of today's films) to squeaky-clean fare, where violence was kept to a minimum and sex, especially among women, was practically non-existant. 'Hold Your Man' is a good example of a pre-Code film. Harlow is white-hot, Gable is irresistable, the dialogue is packed with innuendo and many characters and ideas pop up in the film that would not be seen again (or at least portrayed fairly) in American film for decades: A fully-rounded, three-dimensional black character; a socialist; marital abandonment and unwanted pregnancy. Now on to the VHS transfer itself: it is just a pitiful state. The audio hisses and the volume must be turned up high to properly hear the dialogue; the film looks dark and dusty and scratched. It is a stark contrast to the bright, clean look of the DVD version of "Dinner At Eight", also starring Harlow, released about a year ago. After "Hold Your Man", Jean Harlow would become perhaps the biggest female star, certainly the biggest female star at MGM, of the 1930s. Her popularity was enormous; some have credited Harlow's films with keeping MGM in the black (in fact, the only studio to regularly show a profit) in the dark days of the Depression. The Harlow/Gable combo was a box-office goldmine; they were paired several times throughout the 30s in other mega-hits including "Red Dust" (not yet on DVD); "China Seas" (not yet on DVD); "Wife vs. Secretary" (not yet on DVD); and finally "Saratoga", during production of which Harlow would collapse and suddenly die, of what was revealed to be kidney failure. "Saratoga" is not on DVD. Why the dearth of Harlow DVDs? I urge the readers of this review to write Warner Bros (who now issues the DVDs she appears in) to ask if they have any plans on releasing more of Harlow's excellent catalog of film on DVD. ... show more

  • Different kind of a story
Really love this movie! I am a big Jean Harlow fan and I always enjoy her films. I had never seen this one so I bought it because I knew I would like it and I would want to watch it a lot. The chemistry between Jean Harlow and Clark Gable is enticing! This film was funny, touching and romantic. I cried a little near the end, that is how touching it was for me. I enjoyed the story very much, there is nothing like old movies! The stuff today just cannot compare. ... show more

  • Great movie, great price.
This melodrama is ahead of it's time. Jean Harlow in this drama eventually goes to prison. She has a good guy in love with her but falls hard for the bad boy, played here by Clark Gable. At the last minute (even though this is a movie made back in the 1930's) she is wed just before going into labor and otherwise would have given birth to a bastard child. Little did she know that with the decay of morality no one would give a damn today and in watching this movie would not comprehend why the urgency to wed. ... show more

  • Gable at his best
Love Clark Gable to death. When he is into his characterizations, there is no one better, not even Gary Cooper. There is a very compelling scene in which he really connects with another actor who plays the part of an minister trying to marry Jean Harlow and himself. The actor happens to be African American. The interplay between Gable and the minister is so compelling( as I said earlier), that you get the feeling Gable had a particular afinity for his black cast members. Having read Gable's bio, you hear this over and over. His respect and friendship with Butterfly McQueen, and Hattie McDaniel from the cast of Gone With The Wind are other examples of his real character beyond the screen. ... show more

  • CLARK GABLE is the STARring Man
Gable, really lights up the screen in this old film. He was a BIG, TALL man.which increases his height and his state presence. The costumes are fabulous. Storyline is ok. I love the way he commands the viewer and holds them to his side. A true actor of the silver screen.
