**SPOILERS** Corny type of movie about racing and romance with the great matinée idol Clark Gable reunited with Barbara Stanwyck for the first time since 1931. It was back then in the film "Night Nurse" that a thuggish looking and clean shaven GableNick the Chuffeur smacked Barbara,in house nurse Lona Heart, around and at one point knocked her out cold just to show her he's boss. GableMike Brannan is now twenty olderwelltwenty pounds heavier doing what would have suited his previous character Nick the Chauffeur best. Racing midget cars on the Ohio to New Jersey circuit and being the most hated man in the sport. <br/><br/>It's while competing in a race in Newark NJ that Branner meets TV & radio reporter Regina Forbes, Barbara Stanwyck, and it was hate at first sight! Regina always keeps bringing up the unpleasant fact that Brannan was responsible for the death of a fellow race car driver back in Trenton where he forced him off the track in order to win the race. Sure enoughthe race begins Brannan driving like a maniac on steroids does the same thing forcing one of the competing drivers out of his lane and ending up crashing into another car killing himself!<br/><br/>Shocked at what she saw Regina writes a not too complementary column about Brannar's wild exploits at the Newark race track that eventually has him back-balled out of the sport. It's later that Regina has second feeling about what she did in destroying Brannan's careerwellfalls in love with the big brute, even after he whacked her, to the point where she becomes, in secret, his biggest fan. That after Brannan worked himself out of total obscurity and after getting his race car license back and winning a string of races he became the favorite to win the coveted Indianapolis 500 together with the $200,000.00 1st prize that goes along with it.<br/><br/>Regina also gets to see what Brannan meant about winning at all cost in what she eventually did to financier Dwight Barrington, Roland Winter. It was Barrington whom Regina exposed in her columnsa rip off artist who defrauded his company run pension fundwellthe thousands of people who had invested in it! Being sentenced to 25 years in the can, prison, Barrington blew his brains out before he was to be sent up the river! Regina realized that what she did to Barrington wasbadwhat Brannar did to those who got too close to him on the race track and tried to pass him in order the win the race. Even though they weren't convicted criminals like Barrington was!<br/><br/>***SPOILERS*** Heart racing final with Branner out to win the Indianapolis 500 at all cost suddenly gets religious and in order to please a lady , Rigina Forbes, refrains from his hard hitting and somewhat underhanded tactics in order to win the race to be for once the good guy in order to win Rigina Forbes' heart. An in the end Brannan ends up winning, in the opinion of those of us watching, both!
So, in 1950's "To Please A Lady" (TPAL, for short), I'm being told that in order for the irresistible Mike Brannan to win over any woman (yes, even super-bitch, Regina Forbes), all that he has to do is, first, slap her face (good & hard), and, then (without missing a beat), forcefully plant a big, wet, lovable kiss, smack-dab, on her eagerly waiting lips.<br/><br/>And, with that done, you can be sure that any dame (in her right mind, of course) would be more than willing to follow Mike to the very ends of the Earth, and beyond. (Yes. Even that all-time castrator, Regina Forbes)…. Ha! Yeah. As if! <br/><br/>Well, here's one thing positive that I can say about TPAL - Thank goodness Clark Gable had enough "star-power" clout to keep Barbara Stanwyck completely out of at least some of the scenes in this predictable and petty, little "Chick Flick" - 'Cause, otherwise, Stanwyck would've literally chewed up this picture to absolute shreds with her over-bearing and detestable character portrayal.<br/><br/>At least when Gable was on screen (at first, anyways) the focus was on his character racing midget-cars. But, alas, once he planted that first, fateful kiss on Stanwyck's lips, this film's story fizzled right out, big-time, and turned into a totally demented romance-from-hell that bored me to tears.<br/><br/>The very best moments in this picture were when daredevil drivers were entertaining all of the excited thrill-seekers under the big top at the circus. But these scenes just didn't last long enough for my liking.<br/><br/>It's like I said earlier - The best scenes in this super-trite romance story were when Stanwyck's character was completely out of the picture.<br/><br/>To say that Stanwyck just about ruined this potentially promising picture would truly be an understatement. At least Gable (in all of his arrogance) was somewhat likable.
