It Happened One Night

Frank Capra's classic about a spoiled heiress on the lam from her father, and the gruff reporter who hooks up with her as they travel northward, engage in a series of misadventures and begin to fall for each other. The first film to sweep all five major Oscars: Best Picture, Director (Capra), Screenplay (Robert Riskin), Actor (Clark Gable) and Actress (Claudette Colbert).
