Frank Capra’s comedy classic still fizzles with entertainment. Claudette Colbert is the rebellious socialite out to escape her father’s controlling hand; Clark Gable is the street-smart reporter out for a good story – they prove a genuinely funny double-act. A classic example of opposites attract, and love surmounting all obstacles, this good-natured movie blends sophisticated humour with heartfelt romance to produce a timeless classic. One of only 3 films to win all 5 major Academy Awards – a product of a bygone age in Hollywood history, but whose artistry confirms its rank as equal to the best of contemporary cinema. < less

Crammed with marvellous scenes, such as 'the wall of Jericho' and the hitch-hiking, while the Gable - Colbert pairing is an absolute delight. < less
