Episode 35: It Happened One Night

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

This week, on a very special episode of the Screen Test of Time: it was really a movie! A very good movie! Frank Capra's It Happened One Night starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert is the Ur-romantic comedy, the movie to which most of the tropes in the genre can trace their lineage. It's not perfect, but it's the highest scored movie David and Suzan have watched so far. The first of a dozen nominees and the winner from 1934, it's going to be tough to beat.
