It Happened One Night (1934) (U)
It Happened One Night is showing as part of our monthly Classic Film Series. Tickets are just £6.50
Frank Capra’s impish, daring comedy crackles with romantic tension. Claudette Colbert stars as a runaway heiress meets who meets a recently fired newspaperman (Clark Gable) who she enlists to help her escape her domineering father.
They take an instant dislike to one another, but find themselves posing as a quarrelling married couple after he blackmails her into giving him a story.
Written by Robert Riskin, It Happened One Night was the first film to win all five main Oscars, including best picture, cementing Capra’s reputation as a director.
