Laughing Sinners

Heartbroken when her traveling-salesman honey throws her over to marry the bosss daughter, nightclub tootsie Ivy Stevens (Joan Crawford) decides to dive off a bridge and into eternity. But a passing Salvation Army officer named Carl (Clark Gable) saves her lifethen tries to save her soul. A prime example of the rapid-paced melodramas Hollywood produced in the Pre-Code era, Laughing Sinners features Crawford in a typical role as hip-swinging man bait and Gable in a startlingly atypical role as the good-hearted evangelical. As always, the Gable-Crawford team sizzles. And theres more to enjoy: a top supporting cast and Crawford in a novelty dance, kicking up her heels as a bearded, elderly farmer!
