Review of It Happened One Night (1958) by Kevin R — 01 Aug 2011

This film deserved it's 5 Oscar awards. Maybe it's a ittle light on substance but it is supposed to be. Perhaps a little dated but it's hard not to be when your this old. Still this movie stands up and surpasses most of todays films without a doubt. The acting and directing are great as is some of the writing and story even though as said it is a light hearted comedy.

I've seen a few Clark Gable films now, far from all of them but this is so far my favourite. I think this is the first time I've seen Claudette Colbet but she's quite an engaging actress in this film. I quite like her eyes I have to say.

So cuddle up with someone you love and a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy this quirky little film which won great academy award praise.
