About this Item

In the manner of deceased greats like Rudolph Valentino, James Dean, jean Harlow, Humphery Bogart, W. C. Fields, and John Garfield, the late dark Cable, who for three decades was the uncrowned King of Hollywood, is the object of an intensely swelling interest. The bulk of the 67 Gable films now enjoy a nighttime television audience of millions on a daily schedule. Wall-size Cable posters are selling like hotcakes. Stills, lobby cards, and other memorabilia from Gable movies are at a premium in shops dealing in film lore. Last Spring there were several film festivals honoring the King on University of California campuses, all taking place in the wake of the fifth reissue of possibly the greatest film to come out of the heyday of Hollywood, "Gone With the Wind" now offered in 70mm and stereophonic sound. The anti-hero image and brute masculinity projected by Clark Cable in his movies is being discovered by today's generation who want to live life as Gable does on the screen. They recognize in Gable a lusty nonconformist who bests the institution on its own grounds. In their attempt to identify with him, they've spread the seed from which the present Cable Cult has sprung. This book is a testimonial to that cult. All orders shipped protected in a box.
