Who doesn’t love a classic romance. That’s why we’re offering “It Happened One Night,” Frank Capra's acclaimed romantic comedy that swept the Oscars in 1935, with Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress awards and Best Director awards. It’s that good! The story goes like this: spoiled heiress Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert) impetuously marries the scheming King Westley, leading her tycoon father (Walter Connolly) to spirit her away on his yacht. After jumping ship, Ellie falls in with cynical newspaper reporter Peter Warne (Clark Gable), who offers to help her reunite with her new husband in exchange for an exclusive story. But during their travels, the reporter finds himself falling for the feisty young heiress.
