Series Features It Happened One Night
The spoiled daughter of a rich man runs away when he threatens to annul
her new marriage. A recently fired newspaperman recognizes her
but doesn't let on, escorting her from southern Florida to New York to
be with her husband. They hate each other. This being a
classic Hollywood comedy, of course, they end up falling in love.
It Happened One Night stars Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable as two
stubborn, clever, and mismatched individuals who can't decide whether
they want to strangle or kiss each other in this 1934 pre-cursor to the
screwball comedy genre of the 1940s. Containing elements of the
later screwball films but deviating in significant ways, It Happened
One Night is hilarious and heartwarming and features two of the biggest
stars of the decade.
Join us on Thursday July 21 at 7 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library
for this wonderful film. David Nilsen will be leading a brief
discussion after the movie and as always there will be free theater
popcorn, candy, coffee, and Jones Soda. We hope to see you there!
