À propos de ce film

Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert team up for laughs as mismatched lovers in this 1934 screwball comedy classic. Spoiled Ellie Andrews (Colbert) escapes from her millionaire father (Walter Connolly), who wants to stop her from marrying a worthless playboy. En route to New York, Ellie gets involved with an out-of-work newsman, Peter Warne (Gable). When their bus breaks down, the bickering couple set off on a madcap hitchhiking expedition. Peter hopes to parlay the inside story of their misadventures into a job. But complications fly when the runaway heiress and brash reporter fall in love. Directed by Frank Capra, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT was the first movie to be honored with all five major Oscars®: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

Notes et avis

One of Frank Capra's masterworks. A romantic comedy as timeless as the man who created it. With plenty of laughable moments and a dialogue driven plot that brings out the characters and makes them lovable.

They don't make it like that anymore! Perfect movie for a man and woman in love (anything else is lust, a perversion)

This would have been even to see at the drive-in ( another thing this generation doesn't have). The were really awesome. Awesome.
