Somewhere I'll Find You (1942)

Synopsis: The relationship of two brothers (Clark Gable, Robert Sterling), both war correspondents, is upset by their involvement with a female journalist (Lana Turner), who is sent to report in Indochina. There the three meet up again.

She becomes a nurse, they all go to Bataan, and one of them doesn't return. It's a standard Second World War romance with a convenient resolution, efficiently directed by Wesley Ruggles, which allows Turner to go through the melodramatic mill.

A huge box-office success in its day, the film is remembered because Gable's wife, Carole Lombard, was killed three days into shooting, becoming an early Hollywood war casualty. A grief-stricken Gable insisted on finishing the picture, but gives an understandably subdued and lacklustre performance.

Cast: Clark Gable, Lana Turner.
Runtime: 108 min
