It Happened One Night
Movie Information
In Brief: Frank Capra was no stranger to screwball comedy, and It Happened One Night (1934) is considered by some to be the progenitor of the subgenre. Potentially the best-known — if not necessarily the best — of Capra's comedic works, it's as charming and breezy as it is silly and cynical. Neither as outright funny as Capra's later comedies or as socially conscious as his "message" pictures, It Happened One Night still deserves its status as a must-see classic. It swept the five major Oscars in 1934, with stars Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert taking home awards for their turns despite neither having been the first choice for their roles.
