Of course exactly the same thing could be said about Marilyn Monroe in the same picture. She looked like a battered angel. I don't know about Gable -- he was so good looking in Gone With The Wind, it would be hard to top. Even a hardboiled hetero like me can see that! But maybe you are right -- but he certainly looked dreadful in all those 50's pictures before The Misfits. Maybe he had two peaks. Given that the rest of us have foothills if we are lucky, it seems somehow unfair.
