What happens

Saratoga is a 1937 American romantic comedy film starring Clark Gable and Jean Harlow and directed by Jack Conway. The screenplay was written by Anita Loos. Lionel Barrymore, Frank Morgan, Walter Pidgeon, and Una Merkel appear as featured players; Hattie McDaniel and Margaret Hamilton appear in support. It was the sixth and final film collaboration of Gable and Harlow. Jean Harlow died before filming was finished, and it was completed using a stand-in. Saratoga became the highest-grossing film of 1937, as well as the highest-grossing film of Harlow's career. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
