Description - It Happened One Night by Linda Mizejewski
A movie that swept the 1934 Academy Awards and captivated
Depression-era America, It Happened One Night challenged the
ways Americans imagined marriage, romance, gender, and class
difference. This book examines key scenes and formal features of
It Happened One Night, and explores its lasting importance
in film history and in cultural studies.
Consideration of the film?s role in establishing the
genre of the romantic comedy film
Investigations into the film?s persistent sexuality and
its creativity in avoiding Depression-era censorship
Establishment of the cultural, economic, and political context
of a film that directly addresses the Depression and class
issues
Exploration of how the film invokes and develops the stardom of
Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert and how this stardom intersects
with the film?s topics of gender, genre, sexuality, and
class
