About Too Hot to Handle

Directed by Jack Conway, Too Hot to Handle leans on a strong ensemble — Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, Walter Pidgeon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1938.
