Movie 193/1001 ~ It Happened One Night

Filmed in 1934, It Happened One Night is an unconventional romance. It stars Clark Gable as a reporter down on his luck and Claudette Colbert a rich girl trying to escape her fathers chokehold on her life. With private detectives everywhere searching for her, Colbert gets on a bus, and tries to escape to New York, but there is only one seat left, and its beside our leading man. It sounds like pretty standard fare on the outside, but I found it refreshing and original, even today. Frankly, the movie is pretty old, so its probably fairly original. Its very good.
