Review of It Happened One Night (1934) by Mike D'angelo for The A.V. Club — 02 Apr 1980
It’s every goddamn romantic comedy you’ve ever seen. They can all be traced back here, virtually without exception, for eight straight decades now. Technically, the film has never been remade, but that’s largely because, in spirit, it has never stopped being remade.
Something so perfectly structured can support nearly endless variations. It’s timeless.
