    What movie role went to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. because Clark Gable's ears were too big?

    Question #120907. Asked by serpa. (Mar 28 11 6:04 PM)

    		"His ears are too big and he looks like an ape," said Warner Bros. executive Darryl F. Zanuck about Clark Gable after testing him for the lead in Warner's gangster drama Little Caesar (1931). After several failed screen tests for Barrymore and Zanuck, Gable was signed in 1930 by MGM's Irving Thalberg. He became a client of well-connected agent Minna Wallis, sister of producer Hal Wallis and very close friend of Norma Shearer.
