Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Perhaps not the greatest of the screwball comedies, but Frank Capra's It Happened One Night is one of the racier.

Times (UK)
It's sweet, cheerful, funny, and very, very good.

Nerdist
I have seen Claudette Colbert better cast. She has too much character to suggest a helpless heiress who has never been allowed out alone before. However, most of the acting is excellent, and Frank Capra's direction is full of effective touches.

The Spectator
Rating: 5/5 --
It Happened One Night is as lively, witty and romantic as ever. Buoyed up by dual performances from two of the era's greats, Capra's film maintains its status as a classic.
CineVue
One of the best comedies of its era, with a rich inventiveness of character and situation.

...Capra's much-loved screwball romance remains a prime example of his deft versatility...

It's all about the snappy dialogue and simmering tension between these hugely charismatic stars.

Product Description:
Director Frank Capra and his two stars, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, stole hearts and a quintet of Oscars with this sparkling, legendary romantic comedy. IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT is based on the story "Night Bus" by Samuel Hopkins Adams, and it follows a news reporter and a runaway heiress who fall in love while traveling cross country on a bus. But as with any classic, the film is more than the sum of its parts, and special attention should be paid to the fizzy chemistry between the two leads and the witty script from Robert Riskin. This screwball comedy was the first to take home all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Clark Gable, Best Actress--Claudette Colbert, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
