It Happened One Night is a classic screwball comedy film that follows the story of Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert), a spoiled heiress who runs away from her millionaire father's yacht to marry a worthless playboy. On her way to New York, she meets Peter Warne (Clark Gable), a recently fired journalist who sees her story as a way to get back on his feet. When their bus breaks down, they embark on a madcap hitchhiking adventure, facing various obstacles and falling in love along the way. Directed by Frank Capra, the film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress, and is considered a landmark in American cinema.
