Myrna Loy is miscast as a nightclub singer in The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). Howard Hawks developed the film with Jean Harlow in mind, who was at MGM during Hawks’ time at the studio. He was so dissatisfied, he quit the film, and never returned to the studio again.

Max Baer Jr and Jean Harlow in a publicity still for The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). When Howard Hawks began work on the film, he thought it would be a good vehicle for MGM’s biggest stars, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Jean was replaced by Myrna Loy.

Primo Carnera, Walter Huston, Max Baer and Vince Barnett in a scene from The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). The film is not very good, and is included here because Howard Hawks filmed the first few scenes, and then was fired or he quit, it’s not certain.
