"It Happened One Night" Opened on February 22, 1934 |
The film centers on a newsman (Clark Gable) who finds a rich Wall Street heiress (Claudette Colbert) who is trying to escape the grasp of her tycoon father (Walter Connolly) who will not let her marry a man by the name of King Westley (Jameson Thomas). The movie follows the journey of this newsman and the fugitive heiress on a bus together trying to both make it to New York for different reasons: hers is to find her love and his to get ahead in the newsroom. Throughout their journey they encounter some interesting characters and begin to grow close and eventually fall in love. And who will ever forget the "Walls of Jericho" when they come tumblin' down?! |
