It Happened One Night is a 1934 romantic comedy film directed by Frank Capra and starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in the lead roles. The film follows the story of a wealthy socialite named Ellie Andrews, who is determined to elope with her new husband, King Westley. However, her father disapproves of the marriage and has her kidnapped before the wedding.
Ellie manages to escape from her father's yacht and runs to a nearby bus station, where she runs into Peter Warne, a newspaper reporter who recognizes her and offers to help her. Ellie refuses his offer at first but eventually accepts when she realizes that she has no other options.
As Ellie and Peter travel together on the bus, they find themselves slowly falling in love, despite their differences in social status and personalities. Along the way, they encounter various challenges, such as a lack of money and Ellie's persistent suitor, King Westley, who is determined to win her back.
Despite these obstacles, Ellie and Peter eventually make it to New York City, where Ellie reunites with her father and decides to marry Peter instead of King Westley. As the film ends, the couple embraces and shares a passionate kiss, while the rest of the passengers on the bus cheer for them.
It Happened One Night was a critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Clark Gable), Best Actress (Claudette Colbert), and Best Screenplay. It is considered a classic of the screwball comedy genre and remains a beloved film today.
