Also on this day in 1960, Clark Gable died at the age of 59. His passing came prior to the last film he ever made, "The Misfits" which also starred Marilyn Monroe. Eerily, this was also the last picture Marilyn starred in before her passing. The first time I ever saw Clark Gable was in "It Happened One Night." It is easily one of my most treasured and beloved movies. He always had such an air about him... so handsome and so dapper... ::sigh::
I highly recommend anyone who loves movies to watch this. This one movie is what began my obsession for older, classic films. Many times on television shows or in modern day films you'll see references to this movie. It truly is a classic. Not to mention, Claudette Colbert is beautiful as always :)
