It Happened One Night

I don't know why they continue to make romantic comedies.  I suppose after City Lights, the first and most perfect romantic comedy ever made, those who decided such things had to see what the perfect romcom would look like with dialogue.  Well, they did it, and this is it. One Night is every romcom that follows it rolled up into one, and done with wit, charm, emotion, and art.  Even the flaws of the romcom are captured perfectly, the  contrived last minute change of heart that could have been avoided with a well-timed conversation. 

And the leads.  Not enough can be said about how charming, funny, believable, and attractive they both were.  All the Matthew McConaghooeys in the world aren't fit to touch Gable's hem--although Channing Tatum comes close.  Can we pitch Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, and ESPECIALLY Kate Hudson onto a bonfire, and use it in the arcane ritual of bringing Claudette Colbert back from the dead?  Even her reanimated corpse would be dazzling by comparison.
