Clark Gable's first MGM vehicle after WWII service, (mis)matching him with the ladylike Greer Garson, was a critical and commercial disappointment.

Description by OLDIES.com:
"Gable's back and Garson's got him!" So went one of film's most famous ad lines, welcoming home the movie icon and World War II veteran to share an Adventure with glorious Greer Garson. As a rough-hewn merchant marine, Gable reprises his most popular film persona, the wisecracking man's man who loves 'em and leaves 'em -- until the right dame comes along. Garson is the dame, or, in this case, lady -- a librarian who finds nothing in the Dewey Decimal System about how to domesticate 6'1" of brawn and bravado.
Victor Fleming (who guided Gable in Gone with the Wind) directs, Joan Blondell plays a been-there blonde who catches Gable's eye and Thomas Mitchell adds pathos as a sailor who makes and breaks a deal with God.
Product Description:
When carousing sailor Harry Patterson (Clark Gable), fresh off a Merchant Marine ship, strides into a library and meets straitlaced librarian Emily Sears (Greer Garson) at the front desk, he has no idea that he is looking at his future wife. But these opposites quickly overcome their differences to attract and wed. But once they do, the oddly matched pair faces several romantic mishaps before the roving seaman can settle down enough to sail into the sunset with his new bride.
