It happened one night is a classic American movie. Starring Clark Gable (Gone with the wind) and Claudette Colbert (the actress of 1934) it won five academy awards including best picture and best director (Frank Capra).
Filmed during the height of the Great Depression this movie holds up very well today. It offers us a very captivating look into what life may have been like a half a century ago while showing us where the romantic comedy really started to take shape.
During such classic scenes as the hitchhiking scene and the donut-dunking scene I can’t help but appreciate the simple situations that make this movie great. Yes, it’s filmed in black and white and its style of humor is very toned down, (hey, it was 1934) it is well worth the watch. This movie paved the way for many of the movies we see today and hopefully you will appreciate a well played out scene a little bit more after watching It happened one night.
