His next two films were made for 20th Century Fox: Soldier of Fortune, an adventure story in Hong Kong with Susan Hayward, and The Tall Men (1955), a Western with Jane Russell and Robert Ryan.
Both were profitable, although only modest successes, earning Gable his first profit sharing royalties.
In 1955, Gable would be 10th at the box office – the last time he was in the top ten.

In 1955, Gable married his fifth wife, Kay Spreckels (née Kathleen Williams), a former fashion model and actress who had previously been married three times.
To Charles Capps (1937–39), to Argentinian cattle tycoon Martín de Alzaga (1942–43), and to sugar-refining heir Adolph B. Spreckels, Jr. (1945–52).
Gable became stepfather to her son Bunker Spreckels, who went on to live a notorious celebrity lifestyle in the late 1960s and early 1970s surfing scene, ultimately leading to his early death in 1977.

In 1955, Gable formed Russ-Field-Gabco, a production company with Jane Russell and her husband Bob Waterfield, and they produced The King and Four Queens (1956), a film Gable thought would also star Russell to capitalize on The Tall Men's moderate success.
It was Gable's only time as producer.
He found producing and acting to be too much work and this Raoul Walsh western was the only film made.

His next project was the Warner Bros. production Band of Angels (1957), co-starring Yvonne De Carlo and featuring relative newcomer Sidney Poitier; it was not well received, despite Gable's role's similarities to Rhett Butler.
Newsweek said, "Here is a movie so bad that it must be seen to be disbelieved."
