This season we’re offering you two smash hits from way back when.

We’ve already enjoyed Sunset Boulevard, and on 31 January we turn our attention to an even older film: It happened one night.

For those who are not convinced: you’re not alone, because at the time the film studio wasn’t too convinced either, but the film soon became an enormous hit. So huge that it was the first to perform the so-called Oscar slam, winning top prize in the five main categories. That has only happened twice since!

The chemistry between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert is magic and the story isn’t too sentimental but sharp and witty. The hitch-hiking scene is marvellous and in the end you’ll find yourself rooting for both parties.

But will there be a happy ending…. ?
