Director said
The early 1930s was the period of the Great Depression in the United States. The background and theme of the film reflected the atmosphere of the time. There is no shortage of hungry, cold and unemployed people in the film. Peter is one of them. But Peter is different from ordinary unemployed...

background
Tragedy is that in the eyes of God, everything he created has no meaning, and the loss of meaning creates the root of tragedy. Comedy is that everything that God created has meaning, and when you see it, wholehearted admiration and love naturally arise in your heart. Seemingly the opposite of...

After watching this movie, I did two things, one was to find out Roman Holiday and downgrade it to four stars, and then I gave Five Stars to One Night Merry. A screenplay better than Rome's, all kinds of precedents, a grand slam record in American film history that was broken forty years later to become the first of three, and it all happened in 1934.

[Peter watches as Ellie dunks her donut]
Peter Warne: Say, where'd you learn to dunk? In finishing school?
Ellie Andrews: Aw, now don't you start telling me I shouldn't dunk.
Peter Warne: Of course you shouldn't - you don't know how to do it. Dunking's an art. Don't let it soak so long. A dip and
[he stuffs the donut in his mouth]
Peter Warne: plop, in your mouth. You let it hang there too long, it'll get soft and fall off. It's all a matter of timing. Aw, I oughta write a book about it.
Ellie Andrews: [laughs] Thanks, professor.
Peter Warne: Just goes to show you - twenty millions, and you don't know how to dunk.
Ellie Andrews: Oh, I'd change places with a plumber's daughter any day.

[Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder]
Ellie Andrews: You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.
Peter Warne: This isn't piggy-back.
Ellie Andrews: Course it is.
Peter Warne: You're crazy.
Ellie Andrews: I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.
Peter Warne: And he carried you like this, I suppose?
Ellie Andrews: Yes.
Peter Warne: Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.
Ellie Andrews: My uncle, mother's brother, has four children and I've seen them ride piggy-back.
Peter Warne: I'll bet there isn't a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.
Ellie Andrews: You're prejudiced.
Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?
Ellie Andrews: My father was a great piggy-backer.
Peter Warne: Here, hold this.
[Peter hands to Ellie the case he was carrying and slaps her behind for that remark]
