It Happened One Night

FEBRUARY 12 & 15

The first—and for over 40 years the only—movie to win Oscars® in all 5 of the top categories: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay.  Frank Capra directed this endearing romantic comedy about a wealthy socialite (Claudette Colbert) and a street-wise newspaperman (Clark Gable) who become unlikely travel companions.  The hitchhiking scene, where Colbert schools Gable, is a classic. ("I’ll stop a car, and I won’t use my thumb!”)

1936
