Anything about the movie would be welcome.

Answer 1

The original was made in the '30s - "It Happened One Night" starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. She was an heiress running away from her wedding and he was a reporter. I believe it may have been re-made in the '50s but I can't think of the name of that one; it had a different name.

Answer 2

Without a doubt one of the most memorable films starring Cary Grant and one of the top female comedy actresses of all time....Claudette Colbert in the B&W screwball comedy classisc, "It Happened One Night" released in 1934.

Directed by Frank Cappra with an estimated budget of $325,000, yes just over $300K.

It won 5 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Answer 3

I don't remember the movie but I remember the Woody Woodpecker Spoof of it. Woody puts on a dress and uses a fake mannequin leg and then uses dozens of legs when the car stops. Very funny.
