 Rating:  - They don't make 'em like this anymore...Another great Gable flick, this one with Myrna Loy (the Queen of Hollywood, to Gable's King). Clark plays a ruthless newsreel photographer trying to stick it to rival Walter Pidgeon and woo Amelia Earhart-style aviatrix Myrna. Fast, funny, and politically incorrect. Did I mention fast? Rating: - Great Golden Hollywood FilmToo Hot to Handle is like a two part story. The first part involves a group of newsreel cameramen. Chris (Clark Gable) is the best in the business although he sometimes resorts to deceitful methods. Just to spite him, a group of cameramen from another company fake a major event and don't tell him about it. He finds out and gets some of the best shots of a beautiful woman Alma (Myrna Loy) crashing a plane. However, the sound picks up and carries some information that could destroy her career.

Clark Gable,Mirna Loy and Walter Conely are at the top. A satiric film sometimes againts the newspaper. The best scene I think is the fake shoting of the chinese army with a toy of a plane and starring a girl paid ,and her dumb familly who make gable shot a pain. Great story,wonderfull ...

Proudly "crowned" as Hollywood's reigning monarchs on Ed Sullivan's radio program the two were at the peak of their popularity when this film was released in guaranteeing huge profits at the Box office. "Too Hot To Handle" directed by MGM's brilliant Jack Conway who was responsible for guiding so many ... Read More Rating:  - Lukewarm comedy with scary racial overtonesClark Gable plays an unscrupulous (yet heroic) newsreel photographer who falls for Myrna Loy, a gullible (yet gutsy) aviatrix with a penchant for adventure. The plot on this hyperactive screwball comedy strains under the weight of too many twists -- it's a complete flop in the dramatic department, but still has some worthy points. On an egghead-y level, it's an interesting early look at the ethics of journalism in the modern, 20th Century world -- Gable fakes his footage because the voyeuristic public wants to ...
