One of the best romantic comedies known to date, and one of my personal favorites.

Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert were perfect.

Oscar Shapeley: You know, there's nothing I like better than to meet a high-class mama that can snap 'em back at ya. 'Cause the colder they are, the hotter they get. That's what I always say. Yes, sir, when a cold mama gets hot, boy, how she sizzles.

Ellie Andrews: I'll stop a car, and I won't use my thumb!

Peter Warne: What're you gonna do?

Ellie Andrews: It's a system all my own.

Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?
