Midweek Cinema: It Happened One Night

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first in a short season of Oscar-winning films to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Columbia Pictures.
Starring Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert

To open the season, "It Happened One Night" was, in fact, the studio's first Oscar-winning production, and claimed all the five major Academy Awards - a feat never equalled before or since.

Frank Capra's classic romantic comedy has been called a 20th century version of "The Taming of the Shrew", with Clark Gable as the tough reporter who meets, and tames a spoilt society girl.
