Hold Your Man (DVD)

Ruby (Harlow) is a cynical blonde who is not above swindling her dates. When con man Eddie Hall (Gable) barges into her life, Ruby knows she's met her soul mate. She and Eddie set about a partnership in small-time crime, but a routine scheme goes bad, and Ruby ends up in a reformatory. In every kind of trouble, she's sure Eddie has deserted her. But she's changed him, in ways she never suspected. Cowritten by Anita Loos (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and Howard Emmett Rogers, and directed by Sam Wood (Our Town), Hold Your Man is a vivid, authentic portrayal of thirties life on the lam and the timeless, redemptive power of love.
