Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: NR Release Date: 28-DEC-1999 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com Director Frank Capra (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) took home every Oscar in the book (well, okay, all the major ones) for this seminal 1934 comedy starring Clark Gable as a hard-bitten reporter who stays close to a runaway heiress (Claudette Colbert) rather than lose a good story. Funny and sexy, the film is full of memorable scenes often referred to in other films, such as the "walls of Jericho" (a mere bedcover hung on a line down the middle of a room so opposite-sex roommates can get undressed), and Colbert's famous flash of thigh to stop a speeding car in its tracks. Capra's brisk, urbane brand of wit was a perfect complement to his populist faith in the common man (in this case, Gable's character), and that inspired combination makes this film both a spirited entertainment and an uplifting experience. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 134 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...27Next » A real classic that everyone should own   July 28, 2010 Kelly J. Wilson (Wichita) This is Claudette Colbert's signature comedy movie, in fact she won an Academy award for it. It is actually sometimes while watching it hard to believe how old the movie is because it is still extremely fresh and entertaining. Masterpiece in cinematic Comedy   July 21, 2010 chrysanthemumlily The combination of Clark Gables' charm and Claudette Colberts' comedy genius is a thing of greatness. Never has a bus ride been so fun their chemistry was magnetic and is perhaps one of the best romantic comedies of all time. This legendary film was a mix of serious comedy about two people on a train one a reporter looking for the next big story and the other a priveliged daughter of a wealthy bank who is trying to escape to live her own life. What starts out as a stern conversation leads to a whirlwind romance with comedy from beginning to end. A must see Awesome movie   July 11, 2010 marisa milano (boston, ma) i purchased a few black and white movies after seeing and loving 'A Philadelphia Story' hoping thye would be just as delicious. It happened one night is a GREAT film! I was a little skeptical in the beginning (all b&w's seem to start off as if they could go either way - good or bad) but it quickly had me encaptured - clark gable is hilarious playing off of his co-star. If anyone can recommend other movies similar to this I would love to know. A can't miss it film   June 26, 2010 Brent Butler (North Carolina) In another review I called "Pillow Talk" one of the seminal films in the development of romantic comedies as we know, understand, and love them. "It Happened one Night" is its predecessor and partner. Although this film virtually swept the Oscars, it was made virtually by accident. No one liked the project. Clark Gable was banished to the film as a punishment, and I'm quite sure that in 1934 Frank Capra was not looked upon with the high regard his films enjoy today. Yet everything came together in this "bus movie", as it was derisively called pre-production, and a charming, funny, and moving story unfolded. Only a few years into "talkies", the film set the tone and stage for the antithetical courtship that would become virtually ubiquitous for romantic comedies. Don't believe me? How do you decide who is going to get together at the end of a romantic comedy? Its the two people that early on hate each others' guts, right? Right. Every one of those movies is in some way derivative of "It Happened One Night". Unless you just hate "old movies", watch and enjoy. Or if you've already seen it, renew your relationship with the film. It is absolutely worth it. A beautiful and fun classic   June 24, 2010 K. Moyers (San Diego, CA USA) If you like sophisticated and witty humor (whether you like old movies or not), you should own this movie. The charisma of the characters and the banter are as fresh and amusing today as when the movie was first made. Showing reviews 1-5 of 134 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...27Next »
