It Happened One Night

Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert star in this 1934 screwball comedy directed by Frank Capra. This film was the first to win the big 5 at the Academy Awards(best picture, actor, actress, director & screenplay). That feat has only been accomplished twice since, in 75's One Flew over the Cukoos Nest & 91's Silence of the Lambs. This film is a giant cliche now and the stars at the time thought the script was awful. Some how though one of the greatest film comedies of all time was created. Often imitated but never duplicated this is a film that changed the way I looked at cinema and the role the past can pay in the present, enjoy!!
