THE MOVIE OUTLINE
"Ellie Andrews has just tied the knot with society aviator King Westley when she is whisked away to her father's yacht and out of King's clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn't give her any choice: either she sticks with him until he gets her back to her husband, or he'll blow the whistle on Ellie to her father. Either way, Peter gets what (he thinks!) he wants .... a really juicy newspaper story. "
MY APPRAISAL
SUBLIME PIECE OF CLASSIC CINEMA
I've been wanting to see It Happened One Night since a local magazine reviewed it on BEST MOVIE EVER section about 5 years ago. And I've been hooked ever since. I waited all my life until I finally got the chance to see it (thanks to flixster's angels, maybe someday I'll put the honorable mentions here). And it worth my while!! This movie has all the ingredients needed in creating an excellent romantic comedy. For some of us who'd watched billions of rom-coms, we may find it cliche. But to me, It Happened One Night was a cinematical breakthrough on Hollywood's golden era. And rom coms nowadays (I'll have to admit most of them are crappy) brutally copy its structure which make the movie storyline seems familiar and common.
I can't say it is the best classic movie I've ever seen. It Happened One Night didn't top Gone With The Wind since it was an enormously classic colossal. So the phrase BEST ROMANTIC COMEDY OF ALL TIME will do!
Ellie Andrews: "You've got a name, haven't you?"
Peter Warne: "Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.
Ellie Andrews: "Peter Warne. I don't like it."
Peter Warne: "Don't let it bother you. You're giving it back to me in the morning."
Ellie Andrews: "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Warne."
Peter Warne: "The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Warne. " -

Hilarious! It deserved all the Oscars it got. Iconic dialogue and scenes that bring images of Loony Tunes to mind.

MCT:November 12, 2008deserving of its sweep of the big 5 oscars, this is one of the first and still one of the best great romantic comedies. the hitch-hiking scene was perfect and the acting and screenplay especially stand out. truly great piece of cinematic history.
