It Happened One Night (1934): Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert


     Produced and directed by Frank Capra, It Happened One Night (1934) swept the Academy Awards in 1935, winning all the major categories including Best Picture. The story concerns a spoiled heiress who runs away from her family and finds herself being helped by a man who is actually a newspaper reporter in need of a scoop. The chemistry between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in the lead roles is just magical... with one memorable scene after another, including the "Walls of Jericho" and styles of hitch hiking. A true Classic.
