It Happened One Night
</hdr>
<body>
<p>(February 26, 1934)
</p>
<p> It Happened One Night contains the material of many a recent
picture: the brash, whiskey-drinking newshawk (Clark Gable); the
girl (Claudette Colbert) whose father thinks she has been
kidnapped; the Florida-New York bus on which they are riding
North together--the girl to join to her recently acquired
socialite husband of whom her father disapproves, the reporter
to get the story of her escapade.
</p>
<p> Instead of attempting a journalistic study of bus-travel,
regularly punctuated by comic touches, Director Frank Capra and
Robert Riskin who adapted Samuel Hopkins Adam's story, fused the
two. The quick flow of comic incident through It Happened One
Night reaches its fantastic conclusion in a wedding at which the
groom arrives in an autogyro while the bride runs away.</p>
