  Film Review - It Happened One Night
In 1934, the charming comedy "It Happened One Night" was instrumental in moving the film industry ahead into a new era when the Frank Capra film was released during the Depression.
Appearing in the midst of the Depression, "It Happened One Night brought" to the American people a livelier yet down-to-earth kind of movie experience than was the current fare of the time.
Although "It Happened One Night" is not necessarily qualified as a screwball comedy--it's more of a genteel romance--many scholars attribute the subsequent rise of the screwball to the acceptance of Capra's comedy.

  It Happened One Night - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It Happened One Night is a 1934 romantic comedy in which an elite socialite (Claudette Colbert) tries to get out from under her father's thumb, and falls in with a rogue reporter (Clark Gable).
It Happened One Night is considered to be the first of the great "screwball comedies" of the 1930s, which usually centered around a couple getting into hapless situations, and falling in love as a result.
The unpublished memoirs of animator Friz Freleng's mention that this was one of his favorite films, and it has been claimed that it helped inspire the cartoon character Bugs Bunny.

 It Happened One Night, 1934
It Happened One Night was the blue print for screwball comedies, which were wildly popular during the depression era.
It Happened One Night became an instant legend, because of the fact that its script kicked around for a long time, before Capra became attached, and before he could borrow Gable and Colbert from their studios.
It Happened One Night, by today's standards and from my vantage point, seems to be the one where Hollywood film making stepped up a notch, by demonstrating a smart, little script, that transcends the generation.

 John Wesley Harding : It Happened One Night & It Never Happened at All - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: )
John Wesley Harding makes a confession in the liner notes of his latest release: It Happened One Night, his first album, should've never been his first album.
It Never Happened at All, on the other hand, is an imaginary reconstruction, an album Harding says was much more representative of where he was at the time.
Whether or not It Never Happened at All should've been Harding's first album, it is a much superior work than It Happened One Night, and a fine addition to his catalog.

It Happened One Night was directed by Frank Capra, who had directed 24 other movies before this one, all of which have been forgotten, but who would go on to become one of the most beloved and iconic of American directors of all time.
