I have to say that Gable lost some of my appreciation when I learned about his part aboard the Liberty Lily.
Um... gee what a hard decision.... lol
CLARK GABLE.
He was extremely good looking, sexy as hell, funny, and a man's man.
To each his own, of course, but plenty of people would say the same of Bogart.
And then there's this:

I've never fully accepted Bogart as a romantic lead.
Oh, I know. These days I have the same problem with Russell Crowe......[huh]Millions of women (including my wife) and not a few men disagree strongly with you.
My thoughts exactly. I never saw Gable as that great an actor.Carole Lombard certainly seemed like she was more easy going than Lauren Bacall. Bogie and Bacall were perfect together, though. Couldn't picture them with anyone else. And I'll bet Bogie wouldn't have cheated on Bacall with Lana Turner, as Gable was alleged to have done, which supposedly spurred Lombard to take that fateful plane trip in 1942, in order to get home sooner when she got wind of that little affair.
Back to the original question in the thread: I never saw the appeal of Gable - in looks or acting ability - so I'm a Bogie fan all the way.
