Father Mullin and Blackie


I love the friendship between these two and how Father Mullin is the only one who knows Blackie has a good heart and soul underneath his tough and harsh exterior. Gable and Tracy had wonderful chemistry in this and you really believe their friendship.

Yes, I also think the chemistry between these two good friends is part of the film's great charm. Finally saw it for the first time this month - don't know why it took so long.

Glad you liked the film too. Gable and Tracy were friends in real life and I believe their real life chemistry shows on screen. I love the relationship between Father Mullin and Blackie because they've been through so much together and Mullin knows that beneath his tough exterior Blackie has a heart and is a good person.


Go to bed Frank or this is going to get ugly .
