Classic film

 

Review a classic Film.

I enjoyed the movie It Happened One Night. This movie is an American romantic comedy, that was created in 1934 by Columbia Pictures as a small budget film.

In those days, the film’s plot looked fresh and up-to-actual. People started to talk about relationship between man and woman, and this love story was perfectly integrated in movie It Happened One Night. The daughter of a millionaire father who runs away from her father because he doesn’t agree with his daughter’s marrying of a pilot and fortune-hunter King Westley. In her way to New York, she meets passenger Peter Warne, a newspaper reporter who recently lost his job. Soon, Peter recognizes the rich daughter and gives her a choice. If she gives him an exclusive on her story, he will help her reunite with her groom. If not, he will tell her father where she is. Ellie agrees to help. Then, they start their way, but soon they understand that they are full of love. Believing Peter has deserted her, Ellie telephones her father, who agrees to let her marry Westley. On the wedding day at the last minute, just before she says, "I do", she decides to run away and join her beloved newspaper reporter, who didn’t leave her.

It Happened One Night was the first film that won the "Big Five" Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Writing). Many film critics think that success came through picking crowd-pleasing stars. I think this film pays attention because of simply scenes that focused on a dialogue between main cast members. During the whole film, actors don’t change their outfits and hairstyles. The director doesn’t show us a variety of expensive locations that helps focus on the plot and actors' lines.
