Academy Award winner in all five of the top categories: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay. Frank Capra directed this endearing romantic comedy about a wealthy socialite (Claudette Colbert) and a streetwise newspaperman (Clark Gable) who become unlikely travel companions. The hitchhiking scene, where Colbert schools Gable, is a classic. ("I’ll stop a car, and I won’t use my thumb!”)
