Join us for a FLIFF Member Pre-Valentine get together Tuesday, February 13th, 7pm at Savor Cinema. Enjoy a classic 1930’s Negroni Cocktail and then create your own sweet treat of classic theater candies as we watch a special 90th Anniversary presentation of the all-time original romantic comedy, 5-time Oscar winner, “IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT”
(Non-Members can join us for the party at an additional charge, or purchase a movie ticket alone)
It Happened One Night is a 1934 pre-Code American romantic comedy film with elements of screwball comedy directed and co-produced by Frank Capra, in collaboration with Harry Cohn, in which a pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert) tries to get out from under her father’s thumb and falls in love with a roguish reporter (Clark Gable). Classified as a “pre-Code” production, the film is among the last romantic comedies created before the MPPDA began rigidly enforcing the 1930 Motion Picture Production Code in July 1934. It Happened One Night was released just four months prior to that enforcement.
It is seen as one of the greatest films ever made. It Happened One Night is the first of only three films (along with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Silence of the Lambs) to win all five major Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
