Re: It Happened One Night

Road movies are one of my favorite genres and this film could be classified as the first.

Gable is at his insolent best and Claudette Colbert is perfectly cast as the obnoxious spoilt rich girl.

But it's the early 30s depiction of life on the highways in America that really makes this movie sing. It won the best picture Oscar in '34, but I actually thing it's probably even MORE interesting and important as an historical document now.
