It Happened One Night (1934)
Runtime: 105min
Director: Frank Capra
Actors: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert
Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert) runs away from her controlling father to get back to her beloved King Wesley, a man she was married to before her father annulled their marriage. She jumps on a bus heading for New York, and is seated beside Peter Warne (Clark Gable). Warne is a reporter who recognises and blackmails Ellie. She has to stick with him to give him a story to write, and in return he promises to protect her and not to blow her cover. In the meantime Ellie's father has handed out a reward for those who have any information about his daughter.
Here follows complication and unexpected love. Both Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert are excellent in their performances. They are fun and charismatic, and they have a chemistry to die for. I also have to say that Colberts costumes are adorable! Many people can find old movies abit heavy or too cheasy, but this one is a perfect introduction to the old classics. It's a sweet and pleasant comedy: fun, romantic and light, and an adventure from the beginning to the end.
