It Happened One Night

CriticsCritics: 93
AudienceAudience: 8.2

A runaway heiress joins forces with a roguish reporter who recognizes a valuable story in her escape. As they travel by bus and improvised rides, repeated setbacks leave the mismatched pair dependent on each other while they try to stay ahead of those searching for her.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate witty, fast-moving classic romances and the genre foundations seen in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town; Not for you if dated relationship dynamics or old-fashioned pacing are major turnoffs.
