There aren't two more popular stars on the MGM lot than Clark Gable and Myrna Loy individually. But look what Clark and Myrna did together in "Parnell." Yes, I know their "Test Pilot" went a long way toward making you forget the Irish opus—but Clark and Myrna, in spite of their solo compli, are not dynamite together, Fred MacMurray is a good actor always—but he seldom burns up the screen unless he is teamed with either Claudette Colbert ("It Happened in Paris") or Madeleine Carroll ("Honeymoon in Bali").
In spite of several "sob sister" stories in fan magazines to the contrary, I doubt very much if personal feelings have anything to do with love scene ardour. To the contrary—several screen teams who barely speak off the set have proved to be box office sensations when gazing into each other's eyes in front of å camera. Even their wildest enemies never accused Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy of being romantic when they aren't singing sweet songs to each other. Ann Sothern and Gene Raymond were a grand team of comedy romantics for years even though, privately, there was no love lost there.
