Storyline:

To Please a Lady (1950)
In To Please A Lady, Barbara Stanwyck co-stars for the second time with the King of Hollywood…Clark Gable. The first time they worked together was nearly 20 years earlier in Warner Bros. film Night Nurse ((coming soon from WHV), where Gable played a small part as a smarmy gangster in the surprisingly edgy pre-code film which was one of Stanwyck’s first starring roles. This reunion is an exciting saga set against the backdrop of auto racing. Gable stars as a renegade racing driver whose questionable driving manoeuvres during a race end up killing another driver. Stanwyck plays a no-nonsense newspaper reporter out to expose Gable’s professional tactics and end his career. Despite their initial opposition to each other, they end up falling in love, which causes unexpected complications for both. The highlight of the film is unforgettable racing sequences actually shot at the site of the Indianapolis 500. One of M-G-M’s longest tenured, and most respected directors, Clarence Brown directed this action-packed story, creating such exciting racing scenes that they have given this film a cult following amongst long-time auto racing enthusiasts.

Jeopardy (1953)
A fast-paced thriller filled with suspense, Jeopardy gave Stanwyck a plum role to exhibit her talent for being terrified. Once it starts, it grabs the audience, and won’t let go. Most of this is due to the extraordinary talents of its then-young and up-and-coming director, the masterful John Sturges. Barbara Stanwyck and Metro stalwart Barry Sullivan play a married couple happily vacationing along the Mexican coast with their young son. Their pleasure trip soon turns into a nightmare when the boy strays and becomes lost. Stanwyck and Sullivan’s efforts to find their son soon lead to plot twists and turns too unexpected to reveal here. Co-starring Ralph Meeker, Jeopardy was an unexpected smash hit for M-G-M at the box-office, and remains an irresistible example of cinematic suspense, buoyed by Stanwyck’s exceptional performance, and guaranteed to have viewers on the edge of their seats.
