From October 1936:
There is a new custom in Hollywood00to get an actor and actress who are having a romance and team them in a picture. The fans want to watch the lovers they read about. Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck together in a picture were great at the box office.
Metro is going to team Clark Gable and Carole Lombard in the flicker “Saratoga,” while they’re hot.

Not so much. As we all know, Saratoga starred Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. It was, sadly, Jean’s last role.

Interesting that Lombard was initially slated for this film! I had no idea.
