    You call them “The Walls of Jericho”, I call them “The Walls of Love”. “The Walls of Jericho are toppling.” “Let them topple.” Glad I broke the wall and kissed you that...

    Funny Highway Romance Black and White Classic Clark Gable Claudette Colbert finally saw it in theaters, I bought a CD and didn't watch it for 20 years, it's worth it, it's a classic! The interaction between Gable and the editor-in-chief shows the taste. The editor-in-chief is deeply moved by his story. The two are actually another pair of happy friends. In the ending, Miss Colbert took the initiative to lead the...

    To borrow a comment from a neighbor: It's good to see flying! The unruly lady meets the male god of flirting, and the interaction between the two is too loving! The scene that made me cry the most was the conversation between Peter and Ellie's...

    The group of actors is excellent, especially Gable's inherent wit and charm, which shines brightly in the film. A classic masterpiece in genre films, the shadow of this film can be found in many classic films of later generations, but very few can stand...

    I didn't know how classic this film was, until I saw more and more movies showing spoof clips of showing legs and blocking...

    In fact, the movie has nothing to do with one night, and it has nothing to do with romance. The movie turned out to be the predecessor of "Roman Holiday", but the heroine is not as beautiful as Hepburn. But whether it is the performance of the actors or the writing of the script, they are all very good, and I think they are a little more clever than "Roman Holiday". Especially at the end, this kind of movie seems to make people really...

    The Walls of Jericho have begun to crumble! Long live love! Going round and round, fortunately, it was you in the end! There are not many awesome plots and no profound themes. It is a simple love road story, but it can pierce your heart and warm you from the deepest part of your heart. After reading it, you want to have a love trip in minutes. It's so...

    It's Frank Capra's hand at telling old-fashioned cliché stories like this beautifully and...

    Like "Roman Holiday", it gives people a fairy tale...

    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...

    another adventure

    The work directed by Frank Capra, at first glance, is an adventure love between a rich woman and an ordinary man, but it is similar to Roman Holiday, and it is also a male reporter, but the compact plot, romantic and light-hearted style, makes you feel at all. Not wanting to shut down the movie,...

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter hangs a blanket between the twin beds in their room at the autocamp]

    Ellie Andrews: That, I suppose, makes everything quite all right?

    Peter Warne: Oh this? Well, I like privacy when I retire. Yes, I'm very delicate in that respect. Prying eyes annoy me. Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll give you my best pair of pajamas.

    [he offers her the pajamas - she ignores them - so he tosses them at her]

    Peter Warne: Uh, do you mind joining the Israelites?

    [indicates he wants her to go on the other side of the blanket - she doesn't budge]

    Peter Warne: You don't want to join the Israelites? Alright.

    [he begins to undress]

    Peter Warne: Perhaps you're interested in how a man undresses. You know, it's a funny thing about that. Quite a study in psychology. No two men do it alike. You know, I once knew a man who kept his hat on until he was completely undressed. Yeah, now he made a picture. Years later, his secret came out. He wore a toupee. Yeah. You know, I have a method all my own. If you notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, uh, according to Hoyle, after that, the, uh, pants should be next. There's where I'm different... I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that it's, uh, every man for himself.

    [he starts to unbuckle his pants and she runs to the other side of the blanket]

  • Ellie Andrews: You think I'm a fool and a spoiled brat. Well, perhaps I am, although I don't see how I can be. People who are spoiled are accustomed to having their own way. I never have. On the contrary. I've always been told what to do, and how to do it, and when, and with whom. Would you believe it? This is the first time I've ever been alone with a man!

    Peter Warne: Yeah?

    Ellie Andrews: It's a wonder I'm not panic-stricken.

    Peter Warne: You're doing alright.

    Ellie Andrews: Thanks. Nurses, governesses, chaperones, even bodyguards. Oh, it's been a lot of fun.
