Double Feature: IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, TWO FOR THE ROAD, March 30, 2013

Saturday, March 30 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, 1934, Sony Repertory, 105 min. Dir. Frank Capra. The first film to win all five major Oscars (as if a comedy could ever pull that off today!) remains a jewel of timing and charm, as runaway bride Claudette Colbert finds herself saddled with pushy reporter Clark Gable, who smells the story of his career. The legendary hitchhiking and "Walls of Jericho" scenes are only the tip of this matchless comic tour de force. With Walter Connolly, Alan Hale and Roscoe Karns, and a screenplay by Robert Riskin. {DCP}
TWO FOR THE ROAD, 1967, 20th Century Fox, 111 min. Director Stanley Donen and screenwriter Frederic Raphael relate the ups and downs of a marriage via vignettes that go back and forth in time, focusing on various road trips through Europe at different stages of a relationship in this ultra-‘60s, offbeat romantic comedy. In career highlight performances, Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn are a husband and wife who can't stand each other, yet can't stand to be apart. With mod fashions by Mary Quandt and Paco Rabonne among other hip designers of the day. {DCP}
