''No Man of Her Own'' (1932) is a [[ThePreCodeEra pre-code]] comedy/drama starring Creator/ClarkGable and Creator/CaroleLombard.

The film begins with card shark Jerry “Babe” Stewart (Gable) needing to run off for awhile from the law, so he goes the small town of Glendale where he meets sassy librarian Connie (Lombard). Babe just wants a quick fling, but due to the flip of a coin, they get married. Problems arise since Connie has no idea about Babe’s gambling past, and he refuses to let her know.

Lombard and Gable belonged to different studios (Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer and Creator/{{Paramount}}, respectively) and never did a film together again even after becoming one of Hollywood’s enduring couples. Carole Lombard wasnt even the first choice to play Connie: Miriam Hopkins was slated to play the part, but she refused to give Gable top billing, so the part went to Lombard. It's one of the few pre-code films she had a starring role in before her breakthrough in ''Film/TwentiethCentury''.

Not to be confused with the Creator/BarbaraStanwyck [[{{No Man of Her Own|1950}} film]] of the same name.
