It Happened One Night

 Amazing! Brilliant! Chef-d'oeuvre!

 Ellie Andrews has just tied the knot with society aviator King Westley when she is whisked away to her father's yacht and out of King's clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn't give her any choice: either she sticks with him until he gets her back to her husband, or he'll blow the whistle on Ellie to her father. Either way, Peter gets what (he thinks!) he wants .... a really juicy newspaper story.

In 1935 this film won Oscars as the best film, for the best actress (Claudette Colbert) ans the best actor (Clark Gable). For the best adapted screenplay and for the best directer work.

 My mark: 10\10
