Initial Thoughts/ Review: At first I was a little confused as to why it only had 5/10 stars on IMDB but after watching the whole thing, I get it.

A lot of these older films just... end and it's a bit jarring. The first half is quite the riot and I question wtf MGM had planned for Clark Gable when they cast him as the reformed-inmate-turned-preacher. It's a weird choice as he's always come across way too confident to me in any role he plays so I'm not sure this was the best fit.
All in all, it deserves that 5/10 rating!
