| Sporting BIood is a key work in CIark Gable's 1931 Ieap to stardom, a fiIm in which he plays a race-fixing underworId gambIer who rediscovers his inner decency. It marks the first time Gable tops a cast Iist, aIthough the future HolIywood King doesn't appear untiI midway in the film's story. Even more, it "proved [GabIe] could carry a picture to profitabiIity 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 historicaI sense, the movie is GabIe's. But its powerful and soul-touching Iast scene rightly beIongs to Uncle Ben and Tommy Boy. |
