Gable & Lombard

"Gable and Lombard" By Warren G. Harris would benefit the casual reader who finds himself curious about the general idea of the couple's life together. However, to the reader who wants a more intimate look at their relationship, there may be disappointment in the book's lack of in-depth details. Also, Harris' book is slightly flawed with continuing the circulation of damaging gossip to other classic film stars.Harris' narrative is a decent biography showing both the faults and perfection of not only Lombard and Gable but of the studio system as well. In examining both sides of Gable and Lombard, Harris maintains an objective point-of-view. He does not put them under scrutiny or gives cause to ruin their reputation as people. However, not every word of Harris' biography should be taken literally. He does pepper the book with defunct rumors about other classic film stars.
