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 have been to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and I still cannot forget where I want to take my lover, where, sometimes you will feel like you are one with the moonlight and the sea. To be a part of the immensely vast and great nature, it’s best to live there, and you will feel that you can take the stars from the sky with your hand. "

The well-deserved originator of chick-flick, almost all the entertainment bridges have been borrowed by later romantic and light love films, running away bride (news value incentive) + road adventure (bare-legged car stop, overnight hotel/haystack) + joy Enemy (pretending to be a husband and wife, crossing the river) + re-choosing the one you love + finally getting married, (off topic: my favorite chick film "Leap Year" is basically based on this number!) Exquisite lines and dialogues, neat and smooth The story structure and funny plot design can serve as a teaching template for this type of film. The gentlemanly demeanor that Gable exudes in his gestures is truly charming, and the collapse of the Wall of Jericho is reminiscent of the train going into the hole in the Hepburn movie.

Peter Warne: [Detectives are looking for Ellie] What do you mean, coming in here? What do you want, anyway?
Detective: We're looking for somebody.
Peter Warne: Yeah, well look your head off, but don't come busting in here. This isn't a public park. I could near as take a sock at you!
Detective: Take it easy, son, take it easy.
Mr. Dykes: These men are detectives, Mr. Warne.
Peter Warne: I don't care if they're the whole police department. They can't come busting in here, shooting questions at my wife.
Ellie Andrews: Now, don't get so excited, Peter. The man just asked a civil question.
Peter Warne: Oh, is that so? Say, how many times have I told you to stop butting in when I'm having an argument?
Ellie Andrews: Well, you don't have to lose your temper!
Peter Warne: [mockingly] "You don't have to lose your temper." That's what you said the other time, too. Every time I try to protect you. The other night, at the Elks Dance, when that big Swede made a pass at you!
Ellie Andrews: He didn't make a pass at me! I told you a million times!
Peter Warne: Oh, no? I saw him. He kept pawing you all over the dance floor!
Ellie Andrews: [the detectives stand there, flustered] He didn't! You were drunk!
Peter Warne: Aw, nuts! You're just like your old man! Once a plumber's daughter, always a plumbers daughter! There isn't an ounce of brains in your whole family!
Ellie Andrews: [sobbing] Oh, Peter Warne, you've gone far enough! I won't stand for it anymore!
Peter Warne: Aw, shut up!
Mr. Dykes: Now, you see what you've done?
Detective: Sorry, Mr. Warne. But, you see we've got to check up on everybody.
Detective: We're looking for a girl by the name of Ellen Andrews, you know, the daughter of that big Wall Street mug.
Peter Warne: Yeah? Well, it's too bad you aren't looking for a plumber's daughter
[to Ellie]
Peter Warne: QUIT BAWLING! QUIT BAWLING!
[Ellie sobs even louder]
Mr. Dykes: I told you they were a perfectly nice married couple.
[Mr. Dykes and the detectives leave, and Peter and Ellie start laughing]

Ellie Andrews: Outside of the fact that you don't like him you haven't got a thing against King.
Alexander Andrews: He's a fake, Ellie.
Ellie Andrews: He's one of the best flyers in the country.
Alexander Andrews: He's no good and you know it. You married him only because I told you not to.
Ellie Andrews: You've been telling me what not to do ever since I can remember.
Alexander Andrews: That's because you've always been a stubborn idiot,
Ellie Andrews: I come from a long line of stubborn idiots!
