Rental Picks: Get the Gringo & The Lone Ranger

January 2014 Blind Spot: It Happened One Night (1934)

Ok, it's my first Blind Spot Film of the year. I don't know why it took me so long to finally see this one, as it came highly recommended by so many people. The main draw for me here is to see Clark Gable in something other than Gone With the Wind as that's the …
