The actors and lines are excellent

Clark Gable, a unique temperament in the history of film, rebellious and cynical, but the image of a sincere heart, is deeply imprinted in my heart. It is the success of the slick but upright reporter image in this film that gives the unforgettable smile of Reid Brad in "Gone with the Wind".

Claudette Colbert has the same temperament and demeanor as the eldest young lady of the nouveau riche. In this film, her appearance is very sturdy and may not make you like it, but as the film progresses, you will find that this eldest lady is so cute and kind. Looking back, she was actually quite beautiful.

This film is the first film in history to win five Oscars for best picture, director, adapted screenplay, actor and actress. This record has been maintained for 40 years, and was only tied by "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975. .

This 1934 movie is also the oldest movie I've ever seen. More than 70 years later, the two wonderful opponent scenes in the film are still so fascinating, and the lines of each supporting role are also very interesting. Clark Gable is indeed good at playing the "love and hate" rivalry with the heroine, with Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night" and Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind". One line, it's amazing.

Although the story is simple and straightforward, it is the story of a runaway eldest lady who meets a slick poor reporter. But the actors are really outstanding. Today, 70 years later, there are no actors with such temperament at all.

Coupled with the humor and wit, and the punch line, it goes without saying how exciting this movie is.

The most exciting part of the film is the part of calling a car on the side of the road, which makes people laugh and have endless aftertastes. A clever little reporter and a confident eldest lady are a pair of living treasures.

The film is arguably the epitome of romantic comedy. Later, the also popular film "Roman Holiday" was based on the plot of this film. But performed by actors with completely different styles, it has created a generation of love fairy tale classics.

    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: 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?
