To Please a Lady ★★½ Red Hot Wheels 1950

Romantic comedydrama about race car driver Gable and reporter Stanwyck. Although leads do their best with the script, they're unable to generate any sparks. However, race track scenes are excellent. Filmed at the Indianapolis Speedway, the spectacular racing footage makes up for overall average film. 91m/B VHS . Clark Gable, Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, Will Geer, Roland Winters; D: Clarence Brown; W: Barre Lyndon, Marge Decker.
