The plot is predictable but the dialogue snaps. Gable and Colbert sparkle as they always do whether they're appearing in fluff, epic, or slop; Gable is abusive and Colbert's adorable. These artists make an implausible dizzy story line like this one fun to watch.

This movie took the cake! I rent tons of older films and my husband and I laughed until we cried over this one. The acting, double entendre, and plot are extremely engaging.

It Happened One Night is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. It's not a big budget film, but that didn't hinder the on screen magic this film created. Everything came together perfectly - the cast, art direction, screenplay, direction, writing etc. Clark Gable, and especially Claudette Colbert are outstanding. A great classic in every sense of the word.

I love this movie! Clark Gable is sarcastic, Claudette Colbert is sassy, and the two of them together are like oil and water at first, and Romeo and Juliet in the end. (Oops, just gave away the ending...) Its funny, its exciting, its romantic, and its just plain fun to watch. I would rather watch these two than Julia Roberts and Richard Gere anyday!

This is one of those classics that will never get old and although the dvd sound could improve the story is really a treasure.

Gable and Colbert are perfectly matched and have great chemistry in this fun, innocent comedy that hearkens back to the good storytelling of classic films like this one.

What more can you say about a classic that started a genre. Clark Gable in every way, shape, and form paved way for cinemas modern actors and it is seldom more apparent than in "It Happened One Night". Claudette Colbert also delivers a stunning performance as Clark Gable love interest. Truly a most see, if not own for all movie watchers.
