Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne.

Leave your thoughts about It Happened One Night.
| New York TimesMordaunt HallIt Happened One Night is a good piece of fiction, which, with all its feverish stunts, is blessed with bright dialogue and a good quota of relatively restrained scenes. |
| CineVueChristopher MachellThe combination of Capra’s playful sensibility, inimitable 1930s line delivery, and a screwball wit really come together here to capture lightning in a bottle. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasFor a low-budget production of the early sound era — 1934, seven years after "The Jazz Singer" — It Happened One Night has a wide-open quality that’s miraculous under the circumstances. This comes through in Capra’s technique, like a long tracking shot that follows Ellie’s humiliating trek to a public shower, but it really shows in the film’s ambition to be about more than this one love story. |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzIt's funny, beautifully directed and acted and it's always been one of my favourites. |
| The NationWilliam TroyAmong the more gratifying phenomena of the current season has been the growing recognition of It Happened One Night, the Frank Capra production of last year, as one of the few potential classics of the recent cinema. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterA screwball comedy with charm and sass it established a template that countless films have followed down the decades. |
| Radio TimesTony SlomanAs classy and charming a romantic comedy as you're ever likely to see... |
| Total FilmNeil SmithBoth stars loathed the experience yet turned in two of their most enduring performances. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis is Capra at his best, very funny and very light, with a minimum of populist posturing. |
| The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloIt’s every goddamn romantic comedy you’ve ever seen. They can all be traced back here, virtually without exception, for eight straight decades now. Technically, the film has never been remade, but that’s largely because, in spirit, it has never stopped being remade. Something so perfectly structured can support nearly endless variations. It’s timeless. |
