Gossip Friday: This Calls for a Rewrite

From April 1938:

Clark Gable knows now that it pays to be particular about his stories and so he has sent Too Hot to Handle back for a rewriting job. He and Metro Goldwyn Mayer had many a battle over Test Pilot and Clark held it up for eighteen weeks until he knew the story was right. The result is that Test Pilot is breaking records and and has been held over in Hollywood for another week–a thing that rarely happens at the Chinese. His objection, I hear, is that the newsreel cameraman, instead of being the hero we know him to be, is pictured as a faker whose exploits are the bunk.
