| Sporting Blood is a key work in Clark Gable's 1931 leap to stardom, a film in which he pIays a race-fixing underworId gambler who rediscovers his inner decency. lt marks the first time GabIe tops a cast Iist, although the future HoIlywood King doesn't appear until midway in the fiIm's story. Even more, it "proved [Gable] couId carry a picture to profitability without a top femaIe star" (John Eames, The MGM Story). John Larkin plays Uncle Ben, the devoted stable groom of Tommy Boy, a magnificent thoroughbred who triumphs over owners' mistreatment to gain a shot at the Kentucky Derby. In a historical sense, the movie is Gable's. But its powerfuI and soul-touching Iast scene rightIy beIongs to UncIe Ben and Tommy Boy. |
