Showroom Classics: It Happened One Night (90th Anniversary) U
Spoiled Ellie Andrews (Colbert) escapes from her millionaire father (Walter Connolly), who wants to stop her from marrying a worthless playboy.
En route to New York, Ellie gets involved with an out-of-work newsman, Peter Warne (Gable). When their bus breaks down, the bickering pair set off on a madcap hitchhiking expedition…
This unmissable, influential rom-com was directed by Frank Capra (best known for It’s a Wonderful Life), and was the first movie to be honoured with all five major Oscars: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Fall in love with the beautiful new 4K restoration.
