Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Legendary romantic comedy doesn't age a bit. Still as enchanting as ever, with reporter Gable and runaway heiress Colbert falling in love on rural bus trip. Hitch-hiking travails, the Walls of Jericho, other memorable scenes remain fresh and delightful. First film to win all five major Oscars: Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, and Screenplay (Robert Riskin). Based on Samuel Hopkins Adams' story ``Night Bus,'' originally published in Cosmopolitan. Remade as musicals EVE KNEW HER APPLES and YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM IT.
