Review of It Happened One Night (1958) by Ken S — 06 Feb 2015
Frank Capra directs this Romantic Comedy starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, about a down on his luck reporter who escorts a socialite back to New York so she can marry some snob and defy her father, and they might just fall for each other along the way.
It is one of the best examples of the rom-com genre, a true classic. The cast is right, the script is funny, the direction is perfect. The film is the first and one of very few films to sweep the five major categories at the Oscars, which is an impressive feat for any film that is mostly a comedy.
A fine film from Hollywood's Golden Age, a fine film for any Capra fan, a fine film all around.
