Gossip Friday: Setting a Record
From November 1938:
Clark Gable says he has set a record for osculation in the movies. He had to kiss four nurses in one sitting in “Idiot’s Delight.” But something went wrong with each take (I think I know why), and Clark had to do each scene with each girl ten times.
“I’m not sure I liked it,” said Mr. Gable. I bet Miss Lombard doesn’t like it, either.

I wonder if this had anything to do with Carole reportedly trying to get one of the girls tossed from the movies… Me thinks, maybe.

I love Idiot’s Delight except for Norma Shearer’s silly wig. But what girl did Carole try to get tossed from the movie? There’s that one nurse who has a very memorable voice saying something at the end about seeing his name up in electric lights.
