The First Film to Sweep the Oscars Is One of Hollywood’s Greatest Rom-Coms
It’s safe to say that the Academy Awards are the most prestigious event in cinema, but no categories are the subject of such fearsome competition as the so-called “Big Five.
Gable and Colbert Make for a Playful Double Act But art doesn’t have to be original to be good. Often, the greatest asset a film can have is a simple story well told, and It Happened One Night is a fantastic example of this. Case in point, the plot. Yes, it lacks depth, but no one is watching a rom-com for a Shakespearian-level narrative – something director Frank Capra understands perfectly .
The instigator of this problem was Golden Age of Hollywood icon Bette Davis – or more specifically, her cadre of passionate supporters. In June 1934, four months after the release of It Happened One Night, Davis achieved her long-sought credibility as a serious actor as the villainous Mildred Rogers in the drama Of Human Bondage – a role so widely praised it has one reviewer for Life magazine calling it “the best performance ever recorded on the screen by a U.S. actress".
