A delightful free-wheeling comedy that took the critics by surprise and subsequently became the first film to win all five major Oscars (film, director, actor, actress, screenplay), a feat rarely repeated since.

The cross-country journey of Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, she on the run from an arranged marriage, he on the lookout for a scoop, is still fresh, funny and enchantingly coated with sexual smoulder.
