LOMBARD & GABLE
In No Man of Her Own (1932) Clark Gable and Carole Lombard star as a con man and a librarian. The movie sparked the affair that became their marriage. In the film, Lombard portrays a sweet and innocent small town librarian who manages to reform a heel of a guy. It could happen. Really. It could.
