It Happened One Night (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #43 extract: It Happened One Night (1931)

Seeing this again for the umpteenth time, I still laugh and I still love the characters. Whilst the sound design does hold back the flow of story at times, It Happened One Night is essentially faultless. What seems to draw me to this film over and over again is that it is so entirely sure and comfortable with itself; not once can you sense an ounce of doubt or pretence that would leave lesser films bumbling. 

This is quintessential Old Hollywood: pure entertainment driven by heart and character. A timeless romp. If you've not seen it, you're in for a good time.
