Or Gable vs. Eastwood.Without playing a favorite too mush,
both men had hard { quite rugged } beginnings.Gable off to a
tire factory at age 14.Later drilled for oil in Oklahoma along with
his pappy.Tried his hand at being a lumberjack.Was stranded
penniless in Oregon.Ended up joining a travelling Troupe.
Eastwood { a child of the Deprerssion } ended up trailing his pappy
along dusty roads pumping gas and then worked as a logger,
steel-furnace stoker and gas pumper.Rarely spent more than one
semester in one school.Went off to do a 4n year sting in the Armed
Forces { 1950-54 }.
However once making it onto the silver screen,these two
rugged individual had virtually no common ground.Especially
when it came to their screen persona.
Clark was a Man's man.So was Clint.However their personalities were totally
a polar opposite.Gable could charm the pants off most any Lady.And did just
that in real life as well.He had the Face and the Voice.
Whereas Clint was skinny,lanky with a steely face and terrible voice.
Arguably the Worst { Gravelly } voice in Movie Filmdom.
Clark had a powerfully rich and make no mistake voice.When he said
something there was no inbetween or need for further explanation.
Clint was totally constructed around Hollywood dialogue.Few words
and often very dull and boring.Virtually no ability to exerecise use of
light comedy or charming the female sex.Clint more adept at
trying to impress whatever animal { think Mules } he surrounded hisself.
Or in his action flicks { his weapon }.
Gable could light and smoke a cigarette with the best of 'em.
The one movie Clint tried to appear a cigarette smoker he
looked awkward as he also tried his hand at name-calling a lot.
That Movie - Gran Torino - { 2008 } where he also drank only
beer { cheap beer ta boot }. None of the hard stuff.
Gable handled a cigarette and his Liquor like a Man's man.
year in and year out.Movie after movie.
Mixing his manliness with charm when necessary.Again,Eastwood
more at ease with trying to seduce a new pistol or maybe some
Sergio Leone Western where a skinny cigar { Lancero } is dangling
somewhere in the vicinity of his One Facial expression.
But if works for some Mule,then go for it.
Gable could act in a movie,around horses like he did in his
final film - The Misfits - { 1961 } or in a bar getting nice and plastered.
Or even around a dog like Buck in - Call of the Wild - { 1935 }.
Or fir that matter even 2 chicks and a Gorilla in - Mogambo - { 1953 }
One thing is kinda for certain ... You can fool Some of the Moviegoers
All of the time and All of the Moviegoers Some of the time.
But in Life You can't Fool All of the { whatever } All of the time.
