It Happened One Night

It Happened One Night is a lighthearted and witty screwball comedy that sets a high standard with great performances from Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. The 1934 film tells the story of a pampered socialite who tries to escape her father's thumb and falls in love with a roguish reporter, leading to a series of hilarious misadventures as they travel across the country together. This "pre-Code" production, based on Samuel Hopkins Adams' short story "Night Bus," still delights audiences nearly 90 years after its release and is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.
