HONKY TONK (1941)

Every Kiss a Thrill! Better than “Boom Town”!

Con artist Candy Johnson (Clark Gable) has been run out of town after town. Then he got wise. He went out and got a town of his own – Yellow Creek, Nevada. Lana Turner stars opposite Gable in this sometimes comic, always terrific Western. The title honky tonk is the Square Deal Saloon, where Candy and poker-playing sidekick Sniper (Chill Wills) cut cards but not the liquor. The colorful townsfolk include a Justice of the Peace (Frank Morgan), a long-suffering dancehall girl (Claire Trevor), and a law-unto-himself Sheriff (Albert Dekker). Topping it all, is the pizzazz of the first Gable-Turner pairing. After kissing her, Gable says: "Why don't you jump in and get wet all over?" Upon initial release, Honky Tonk was MGM's most financially successful release of the year. It was the first of four successful onscreen pairings between Gable and Turner and cemented Lana Turner's status as one of the top leading ladies under contract to MGM. Newly remastered for the first time in over 35 years, the film arrives on Blu-ray looking sensational, restored from a 4K scan of the film's original nitrate negative. HONKY TONK is an essential add to any classic cinema enthusiast's collection!
