Things you should not think about if you want to enjoy “It Happened One Night,” a classic 1934 romcom starring Clark Gable as Peter Warne, a streetsmart newspaperman, and Claudette Colbert as Ellie Andrews, an heiress:
- That time Ellie’s father slaps her in the face.
- That time Peter spanks her (without permission or a safeword).
- At least two references to men having to hit women to keep them from getting out of line.
- No Asian or Black characters, except for one Black man who has two or three lines, which is actually a lot for a Golden Age Hollywood movie.
- The oligarchy.
I did enjoy the movie, which we watched again Saturday. I enjoyed it a great deal. I’m just sayin.
