At 8.0 am on New Year's Eve, 1973, two ambulance men called Jim Grummett and Colin Birch crossed the picket lines outside Sunderland Ambulance Depot and reported for work. From that day to this - two years, almost, to the day - the two men have been 'sent to Coventry' by their workmates, and union branch chairman Alan Little opposes any reconciliation. Is it simply a case of obstinacy? Or bloody-mindedness?

This Inside Story of a conflict of ideologies analyses the roots of the feud, and it portrays what happens in the hearts of ordinary men, when the unyielding force confronts the immovable spirit.

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.
