It Happened One Night hey driver these
seats accommodate two people okay well
maybe they do remember the dog thank you
everyone likes a good romantic comedy
even if they claim they don’t and in the
1930s it didn’t hurt to have Clark Gable
as headliner he plays a reporter who
crosses paths with a bride on the run
from her overbearing father in this
screwball Frank Capra romp are you
talking about I said you’d never get
away with it
your father will stop me before you get

hurrah atop the Empire State Building
since special-effects Awards did not

fantasy monster adventure genre cannot
be denied oh no it wasn’t the airplanes

associated with navigating the Great
Depression number three mr. Smith goes
to Washington Jefferson Smith I beg your
pardon
Jefferson Smith he’s you only thing to
do to have here you gotta be prison I

caused an uproar as a somewhat naive
junior senator Jimmy Stewart’s mr. Smith
filibusters for a full 24 hours to
defend his name and convince those on
the Senate floor of his innocence and I
hate to stand here and try your patience
like this by either I’m dead right or
I’m crazy the depiction of a scheming
underhanded branch of government did not
sit well with many US politicians at the
