Was it Clark Gable? William Powell? Cary Grant? Or someone else?

She's just so amazing, isn't she?
William Powell, most definitelythey're my favorite screen couple of all times; they put modern actors to shamebut she was great with Fredrick Marchthe scene where he first gets up in the morning is great and so is the one where he gets drunkand Clifton Webbshe was such a great foil for him. I believed that they would be married; they seemed to balance each other out.
But my ideal world is the one in which everyone has as great of chemistry as Loy and Powell. They're perfection. -

Add a Bill Powell vote for me! I have all of their movies and I never get tired of seeing them. I also have around 20 other Loy films and 50 other Powell films and they were great with other co-stars, but never as good as they were with each other!!!! They apparently liked each other too, Loy even gave a great tribute to Powell in her book Being and Becoming, saying she never enjoyed her work more than when she worked with Bill Powell, so she probably would agree with us!!!!!

I'm with everybody that said William Powell, and then, as a second choice, Cary Grant. All three of these actors had a unique charm, and they worked well together. I'm a huge fan of these actors, and I will forever be indebted to FMC and TCM for playing those marvelous old films.

William Powell. I don't want o say that because I think it's the obvious choice for everyone, but I love them together. She did have great chemistry with Cary Grant and Clark Gable. I love the Scene in Test Pilot when Gable lands on her property. She had such wit and Sophistication. How could you not lover her?

Tyrone Power. Their work together in the Rains Came is heart-wrenching. Especially after she realizes she's been exposed to the "plague" and will never be able to kiss him. At that very moment he has just declared his love for her! I've watched this film over 30 times and never tire of it. Powell was certainly her best teaming, but for romance it was Tyrone.

Definitely Powell! I honestly cannot think of any two actors that had better chemistry than Bill and Minnie.
Grant and Gable were her best non-Powell co-stars. I also liked her with Clifton Webb in Cheaper By The Dozen. I thought they had pretty good chemistry and would've liked to have seen them do some more films together.
