Starring: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly
Today I'm reviewing one of the best, in my opinion, screwball comedies of the 30s.
PLOT: Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert) runs away from her father (Walter Connolly) after he finds out that she has eloped with King Westley (Jameson Thomas). She runs into fired newspaper man Peter Warne (Clark Gable) who tells her that if she gives him an exclusive, he'll lead her to Westley. Ellie agrees and the two set off on a journey together.
Ellie and Peter fall in love during the course of the journey. At the wedding ceremony, Ellie runs away to find Peter and marry him.
REVIEW: Witty one-liners and funny jokes make up the bulk of this movie, starring two people that are often viewed as serious actors. This is simply a funny film and it's great fun for the whole family (minus the leg show by Colbert). 5/5
