Clark Gable won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night (1934), and earned nominations in the same category for portraying Fletcher Christian in Frank Lloyd’s Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) and Rhett Butler in Victor Fleming’s Gone with the Wind (1939).

Gable did a series of films with female co-stars: Any Number Can Play (1950) with Alexis Smith, Key to the City (1950) with Loretta Young, and To Please a Lady (1950) with Barbara Stanwyck. They were reasonably popular, but he had more success with two Westerns: Across the Wide Missouri (1951), and Lone Star (1952).
