Metro-Goldwyn Mayer in 1942. The film starsClark Gable andLana Turner . The film took almost two years to complete. This was the last film Gable starred in before he enlisted in World War II. The next film he starred in was "Adventure" (1945).Plot
In
World War II , two brothers feud over a beauty whom they both have fallen in love with.Production
The film was designed as another vehicle for the immensely popular Gable/Turner pairing. Following their huge success in 1941's "Honky Tonk", MGM was looking to capitalize on their new team as it had not seen a Gable pairing this successful since
Joan Crawford andJean Harlow in the 30's. Once filming began, Gable and Turner continued their friendly working relationship, although it has been speculated that their relationship was far more than that. Regardless, tragedy struck during the production whenCarole Lombard , Gable's third wife and the love of his life, was coming home from a hugely successful war bond rally. She had been scheduled to take the train but decided against it and opted to take a plane instead for reasons still unknown. It has been speculated that Lombard was worried about the Gable and Turner relationship, although Turner herself said that their relationship was nothing more than friendship. Nevertheless, Lombard's plane crashed in the mountains outside Las Vegas and everyone aboard was killed. Gable was permitted leave from filming for his grief and the studio even went as far as to prepare to scrap the film. Gable stated he would continue filming, however, but demanded a change of the title, as Somewhere I'll Find You brought back too many sad memories for Gable. His wish was granted and the title was briefly changed to Red Light before being changed back to Somewhere I'll Find You. By the time of the film's wrap, Gable wanted nothing more to do with films for the next few years, and joined the army, returning to film in 1945 after a three year absence.The film was, like the Gable/Turner pairing the year before, another success and they were teamed for two more films in the future, their first pairing together after six years in 1948's "
Homecoming ".The film was also the film debut of
Keenan Wynn .External links
