Healers…scientists…visionaries. They are the Men in White. And when one of these dedicated young doctors is played by Clark Gable, fans know they’re in for something special. The world would have to wait until George Clooney’s work in ER for another star who could bring such virile charisma to the medical profession. In this film based on Sidney Kingsley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Gable portrays Dr. George Ferguson, an intern involved with the spoiled, headstrong heiress he loves (frequent Gable co-star Myrna Loy) and the sweet, gentle nurse who loves him (Elizabeth Allen). But when sudden tragedy strikes, Dr. Ferguson discovers his greatest devotion is to his patients, his brilliant mentor (Jean Hersholt) – and his calling as a man of medicine.

Brian Donlevy goes from rags to riches in King Vidor’s ambitious Technicolor ode to hard work, family and the American Dream. Arriving penniless in the United States, Czech immigrant Steve Dangos (Donlevy) soon realizes America truly is the land of opportunity. Starting out in the iron mines of Minnesota, Dangos heads to the steel mills of Chicago, a decision that will earn him wealth and power beyond his wildest dreams – and put him at odds with his workers when they try to unionize. Produced over a two-year period at the then-enormous sum of $3 million, An American Romance is a bold and gripping saga in the Vidor tradition. “No other American director ever matched Vidor’s sense of personal struggle, or the muscular poetry he found to express it” (Tony Rayns, Time Out Film Guide).
