Scenarios include the underbelly of the recording industry, protection rackets, international arms dealing, foiling white supremacist plotters, uncovering a government conspiracy to set up a compliant new head of state in a third-world country, and Vinnie's final reconciliation with his Italian mother and her new husband, the purely legendary Mafia figure Don Aiupo.

Saratoga Blu-ray Movie
Warner Archive Collection
Warner Bros. | 1937 | 94 min | Not rated | Sep 26, 2023 | Randy Miller III
On screen, Jean Harlow is pure platinum: white-blonde, rare, glamorous and tough. But she was fragile in real life, succumbing to kidney disease at the achingly young age of 26 just as this film was wrapping. So SARATOGA became what it was never intended to be: a farewell to the great star. Harlow shares the screen with a dazzling cast, including her sixth time with her ideal romantic sparring partner, Clark Gable. The story, with its colorful racing-circuit setting, is a hoot: a snappy, sexy, quipping tale of a horse breeder's daughter who's engaged to an upstanding millionaire (Walter Pidgeon), but drawn to a brash bookie (Gable). SARATOGA opened the month after Harlow's death and grieving fans made it a box-office smash.
