It Happened One Night
Adult Audiovisual DVD - It

The first of only three films to win all five major Academy Awards, this was one of the first screwball comedies and one of the last romantic comedies to be made before the Motion Picture Production Code was strictly enforced in 1934. Claudette Colbert reportedly hated making the picture and Clark Gable was begrudgingly loaned out by MGM (as punishment for his affair with Joan Crawford), but they are both marvelously witty in it, obviously.
