Review of It Happened One Night (1958) by Kevin M. W — 24 Feb 2014
Frank Capra's road trip from Miami to New York is actually a poem to everyday America and Americans (your unwashed masses) and laced throughout with vignettes of common people simply enjoying life .
.. practically the blueprint for Hollywood gold. Remember James Cameron's Titanic? Well, here is where he stole the central theme. Gable and Colbert are great as the surrogates for us in this tale, he as the jack-of-all-trades everyman, and she as the princess who finds her Prince Charming is closer than she thinks.
It never gets old, the scene in the bedroom still laced with agonizingly palpable tension, even after all these years.
