Frank Capra’s IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
Wednesday, July 17th at 7:30 PM
Introduction by Film Historian Glenn Andreiev
Opposites attract with magnetic force in Frank
Capra’s road-trip delight about a runaway socialite (Claudette Colbert) and a roguish reporter (Clark Gable) determined to get the scoop on her scandalous
disappearance. The first film to accomplish the feat of sweeping all five major
Oscar categories (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best
Adapted Screenplay), It Happened One Night is among the most
gracefully constructed films of the early sound era, packed with clever
situations and gags, and featuring two actors sparking with a chemistry that
has never been bettered. (USA, 1934, 105
mins, English | Dir. Frank Capra)
