Hi Chiara
I'm Jo. It's nice to have you here. I know that you were probably
putting this question out to Lisa. But I thought I would answer too.
I like love on the run which is also a clark gable so that in my
book is good too, My favorite and the first one i saw him in is the
bride wore red, he stole the show away from the rest of the cast imo.
I also like sadie mckee, The Gorgeous Hussy is a good one but he
doesn't have a very big role which is a shame because he is one of
the best actors in the cast.
I hope this helps. It nice to have you here! :D
Jo
