BACK TO THE MOVIES: Five Decades of Cinema
The Thirties: It Happened One Night (1934) Not Rated
Directed by Frank Capra
Runaway heiress Claudette Colbert meets struggling newspaper reporter Clark Gable on the lam. As they journey through the night, their antipathy turns to affection while encountering an oddball assortment of characters. If this sounds like a familiar formula, that’s because this is the original romantic or “screwball” comedy. Director Capra often said that the making of this movie would have made a pretty good screwball comedy itself, since neither Gable nor Colbert wanted to be involved in the production. By Oscar time, however, they were both happy to pick up acting statuettes. In fact this was the first film to win all five major Oscar categories, collecting hardware for Picture, Director and Screenwriting as well.
6:00 p.m.in the Main Library Auditorium
