classic terrier

A really romantic film, a rich girl who runs away from home and goes to her fiancé meets a arrogant and down-to-earth reporter. This is definitely the prototype of "Roman Holiday".

An unexpected journey that started willfully, but at the end of the journey, I meet myself again, and I also fall in love with the travel companion who reshapes myself.

The plot, which sounds extremely untrue, shines brightly under the strong support of the wonderful script. There was originally only a thin line between romance and absurdity, and the male and female protagonists of this film were close to this boundary, and staged an extremely public and passionate love dance. Crazy, brave, impulsive, down, good and bad, all intertwined in this road trip. The budding love between men and women is quietly integrated into the twists and turns of the playful plot, which can make a girl's heart pounding even after more than half a century.

As for pulling a blanket between the two beds as a partition, pulling up your skirt and extending your legs to take a taxi, and even singing and pretending to be a fake couple to fool the tracking detective... These classic stalks that later people are eager to emulate are already in this ancestor love movie. Show complete.

The only shortcoming is that the emotional entanglement between the two in the later period was not resolved positively, but passed by in a profile, which made it difficult for the audience to release the long-standing feelings of the audience, and the film also lost an exciting climax.

Brisk and lively is the usual rhythm of this film, but unfortunately that romantic and agile free and easy air failed to find attachment in the later stage, and could only take a slanted sword, losing a little gentleness and calmness.

    The origin of countless scenes, Capra is very simple, and Gable is very strong. Thinking of how many movies in the next few decades will not be as good as him, are those bad directors and bad actors not ashamed at all?

    So classic! Comedy, romance, road, and a little bit of a detective, and this is a movie of the thirties. But these are not the most important things. The key is that the director can willingly let the director play with his little feelings, and every little bit of delicate mind is carefully controlled, and the heart is stretched, wrinkled and smoothed out, which is very enjoyable. If there are 100 stars, I want to give 100 stars. #BJIFF2017 4.22@UME Shuangjing Store

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [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]

  • [Peter makes a couple of "beds" from hay off of a haystack]

    Peter Warne: All right, come on. Your bed's all ready.

    Ellie Andrews: I'll get my clothes all wrinkled.

    Peter Warne: Well, then take 'em off.

    Ellie Andrews: What?

    Peter Warne: All right, don't take 'em off. Do whatever you please, but shut up about it!
