It Happened One Night (1934)

dir: Frank Capra

Spoilt heiress Ellen "Ellie" Andrews (Claudette Colbert) marries fortune-hunter "King" Westley (Jameson Thomas) against the wishes of her extremely wealthy father (Walter Connolly) who has the marriage annulled. She runs away, boarding a bus to New York City, to reunite with her new spouse, when she meets fellow bus passenger Peter Warne (Clark Gable), an out-of-work newspaper reporter. Warne recognizes her and gives her a choice: if she will give him an exclusive on her story, he will help her reunite with Westley. If not, he will tell her father where she is and collect the reward offered for her return. Ellie agrees to the first choice. (Wikipedia)

This film revolves around class, the unspoken chasm between Gable's cynicism and Colbert's airs. Despise their difference each quietly yearns for the same thing, both too proud to acknowledge their vulnerabilities. The subtlety with which their initial disdain transforms into passion is enchanting. This is a standard formula, executed masterfully, and leant additional weight by the unmentioned shadow of the Great Depression.

A great film. It has a nice take on the classic 1930's themes of social strata, wealth, rich people, etc., and it's also an early example of the classic American genre of the road movie. Gable and Colbert have both acting chops and great chemistry. In addition to being a good drama the film is also very funny, mostly because of all the great one-liners.
