Customer Reviews of Love on the Run
Entertaining,lovely,and carefree. I found this movie quite lovely.However, if your looking for a drama ridden, heart wrencher don't bother with this one. Love on the Run goes by the usual MGM formula outline. Beautiful ladies ( Joan Crawford), handsome men (Clark Gable & the former "Mr. Crawford" Franchot Tone), a dilemma, a joyous resolution. And finally, Love. One word sums it up, CUTE!
Crawford and Gable flee through France from spies
For those of you who thought "It Happened One Night" needed a major sub-plot involving spies, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer offers up the 1936 film "Love on the Run." Once again Clark Gable is a newspaper reporter, Michael Anthony, who is sent to cover the wedding of Sally Parker (Joan Crawford), a beautiful American heiress living abroad, to Prince Igor of Taluska (Ivan Lebedeff). But the bride leaves the groom at the altar and hides out in her hotel suite. Michael offers to get her out of hotel unnoticed. Meanwhile, Barney Pells (Franchot Tone), is interviewing Baron (Reginald Owen) and Baroness (Mona Barrie) Spandermann, the distinguished flying pair. So Michael steals their flying suits and in disguise they go to the airport, wave to the cheering crowd, and take off. However, Sally discovers detailed plans of a British fortification in the bouqet of flowers somebody gave her before she boarded the plane. This means that the Baron is a spy and that Michael and Sally are now being pursued through France by people a lot more dangerous than bothersome society reporters.
"Love on the Run" is the seventh of eight films that Gable and Crawford made together, only the first of which did not feature they as the leading couple. The whole spy business is played essentially for laughs (remember, this is 1936 and devious Barons with Germanic sounding names are not yet associated with the evils of Nazism), but things do get a bit silly: the tired couple break into Fountainebleau Place to hide out and an old caretaker thnks they are the ghosts of Louis XIV and Mme. de Maintenon. Still, no one is inclined to think of Clark Gable and Joan Crawford as a classic comedy couple, especially with her running around in those costumes by Adrian. "Love on the Run" only runs 81-minutes long and is an enjoyable but minor offering from the two stars. I just have to admit that the chemistry between Gable and Crawford always struck me as odd, because I just always thought there was too much steel in Joan for Clark's taste, but obviously MGM thought otherwise. .
Keep on Running
Part of the seven or so films made by this chemistry-laden pair, "Love on the Run" is nothing much to write home about. Gable sports a stupid hat at one point; that's about it. See "Possessed" instead.
