Too Hot To Handle (1938)

A newsreel reporter (Clark Gable) will do anything to get a story including fabricating incidents. His nemesis (Walter Pidgeon) on a rival newspaper is no better and when an aviatrix (Myrna Loy) is used by Pidgeon for a fake news story, Gable blunders into it and finds himself attracted to the girl but he's not above exploiting her either. Directed with vitality by Jack Conway (LIBELED LADY), this is an energetic fast paced comedy adventure with major star power at the center. The film ends up in South America with Loy hoping to find her brother lost in the Amazon. However, oddly the film makers seem to be on the wrong continent as the natives are not Indian but black and of the "umgawa" variety. Here some disturbing racist attitudes rear their head as Gable refers to them as jitterbugs and monkeys. That aside, it's an agreeably amusing  and lightning fast romp. With Marjorie Main, Walter Connolly, Leo Carrillo and Virginia Weidler.
