It Happened One Night (1934)

The boys hike up their skirts and show a little leg in order to get your attention with this week's film: Frank Capra's screwball romantic comedy It Happened One Night! Once again, we get into the sexual politics at play in the film - and Alex sums up his feelings on the whole dating scene. Plus, Steve wonders if Gable's behavior in this one is one of the reasons why we have the 'he pulled your hair, so he must like you' trope in the world of romantic advice. Because, let's face it, as charming as he is, Gable is a bit of a jerk in this one. A good time is had by all in this, the second chapter of our 'Road Trip' winners series of Best Pictures!
