It Happened One Night (26)

I am still laughing at "the walls of Jericho are tumbling!" Rhett Butler, I mean Clark Gable, while perhaps a bit controlling and verbally abusive at times, was just as charming as he was in Gone With The Wind. It Happened One Night is easily predictable, but heart warming none the less. Half way through the movie I realized I've actually seen part of this before, but hadn't realized what it was.

Why is this movie on the top 100? Well besides the flawless acting, perhaps the story was the first of its kind. The proprietary boundaries were smudged more in this movie than most of it's time. While it didn't bring me to tears, it was a good emotional ride.

Overall I really enjoyed this movie and might own it someday. But good or bad, it has Clark Gable and so it's a must see!
