Remastered in glorious 4K quality for its 90th anniversary, this Frank Capra classic is widely considered a foundational film in the screwball comedy genre.

Originally released in 1934, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT won five major Academy Awards, including ‘Best Actor', ‘Best Actress', ‘Best Director', ‘Best Picture' and ‘Best Writing'. Based on a short story by Samuel Hopkins Adams, this fast-phased comedy stars irresistibly charming Claudette Colbert as the spoilt and rebellious heiress Ellie Andrews, who is intent on escaping her father's clutches and dives off his yacht in a desperate bid for freedom. Evading him once again by catching a bus, she falls in with silver screen legend Clark Gable's jobless newspaperman Peter Warne, who, knowing her true identity and having read the headlines, is intent on exploiting the situation in order to rejuvenate his career.
