It Happened One Night (1934)

Directed by Frank Capra

A spoiled heiress (Claudette Colbert) fleeing her dad's tough-love efforts to have her impulsive marriage annulled. An intemperate reporter (Clark Gable) looking for a career-salvaging scoop. A misadventurous road trip that takes them up the East Coast and into each other's arms propels Frank Capra's seminal screwball charmer that became a sleeper hit and netted the five major Academy Awards. Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale also star. 105 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; bonus documentary "Frank Capra's American Dream" (1997); bonus short "The Ballad Of Fisher's Boarding House" (1922); AFI Capra tribute; featurettes; theatrical trailer.

Eve Knew Her Apples (1945)
Starring Ann Miller, William Wright, Robert Williams, Ray Walker, Charles D. Brown
Directed by Will Jason

Print: black/white
Runtime: 64 min.
Genre: musical
Print Quality: B

Radio singing star, Eve Porter, wants a vacation during her show's summer hiatus, but her 
manager and press have booked her for additional work. She refuses and goes to Las 
Vegas. When she finds them there hunting her down, she manages to escape them by 
hiding in the car of a newspaper reporter. She comes out of hiding while he is driving, but 
everything she says is misconstrued, making him believe that she is a recently-escaped 
convict, "The Singing Widow". He plans to use this as a story to get back into the good 
graces of his editor. Through some comic mishaps, he learns who she really is. He then 
decides to take her back to Hollywood to collect the reward for her return. But now love has 
entered the mix, and must be resolved with his job and her engagement to another.

 

You Can't Run Away from It (1956)


Starring June Allyson, Jack Lemmon, Charles Bickford, Paul Gilbert, Jim Backus
Directed by Dick Powell

Print: color
Runtime: 95 min.
Genre: musical
Print Quality: B

You Can't Run Away From It is a musical remake of Frank Capra's Oscar-winning classic It 
Happened One Night (remade once before in 1945 as Eve Knew Her Apples), complete with 
same-named characters and word-for-word scene reconstructions. It all begins when 
spoiled heiress Ellie Andrews (June Allyson) is literally kidnapped from the altar by her 
wealthy father (Charles Bickford). Escaping from her daddy's yacht with only a handful of 
clothes and minimal finances, Ellie hops a bus, intending to travel cross-country to be 
reunited with her fortune-hunting husband. Reporter Peter Warne (Jack Lemmon), sensing 
a swell newspaper story, tags along. Though Peter and Ellie aren't terribly fond of one 
another (that's putting it mildly!), by the end of their journey they've fallen in love — but there 
are still several last-minute complications before a happy ending can be reached. Most of 
the musical numbers in the remake are awkwardly inserted during the more famous 
scenes from the Capra original: the "Walls of Jericho," the impromptu singalong on the bus, 
the hitchhiking bit, etc. Benefiting from the breezy performances of Jack Lemmon and June 
Allyson, You Can't Run Away From It is easy to take, but hardly within shouting distance of 
the original film's brilliance.
