good story

Checked it out, this film won numerous Oscar awards back then, but for now, movies and TV with this theme (the pauper meets the princess or the ugly duckling meets the king and the duck meets the prince) are too much. More, many idol series now are almost copying this model, which shows the popularity of this model. I think the reason why this film won the award was because it moved this theme to the movie screen earlier and the actors' performances were really incisive. From the current point of view, this is a good story, but it is also a relatively common story, but don't Forget that this movie was made seventy or eighty years ago, it was a good thing to be able to make it like this at that time. Black and white films give people a sense of stability. If I were to shoot such a color film with this theme, I don’t think I would sit in front of the computer and watch it safely!

    I don't know whether it is elegant or clumsy, or elegant clumsiness or clumsy elegance, quietly flowing shots (like performances, far away, holding a pose, imitating wanton, casual, falling in love, and confused), there are irregularities under the water Branches, stones, sometimes visible. The film itself appeared, and the remaining elements receded, far away and indirectly moving. Gable's character is moving in the same way. At that time, Hollywood seemed to like this kind of thing, but this kind of thing... This kind of heroic image, almost only that face can be such an image, is a kind of spiritual orientation, Face. Woman with low voice, accent. Movies are the possibility of keeping good things.

    Humorous style, great shots.

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder]

    Ellie Andrews: You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: This isn't piggy-back.

    Ellie Andrews: Course it is.

    Peter Warne: You're crazy.

    Ellie Andrews: I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.

    Peter Warne: And he carried you like this, I suppose?

    Ellie Andrews: Yes.

    Peter Warne: Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.

    Ellie Andrews: My uncle, mother's brother, has four children and I've seen them ride piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: I'll bet there isn't a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.

    Ellie Andrews: You're prejudiced.

    Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?

    Ellie Andrews: My father was a great piggy-backer.

    Peter Warne: Here, hold this.

    [Peter hands to Ellie the case he was carrying and slaps her behind for that remark]

  • [Peter makes a couple of "beds" from hay off of a haystack]

    Peter Warne: All right, come on. Your bed's all ready.

    Ellie Andrews: I'll get my clothes all wrinkled.

    Peter Warne: Well, then take 'em off.

    Ellie Andrews: What?

    Peter Warne: All right, don't take 'em off. Do whatever you please, but shut up about it!
