It Happened One Night

"It Happened One Night", #35/#46, 1934

This was a really good movie. There are a lot of ridiculous parts that seem to go along with the movies from the 30's/40's. But, it's a cute romantic comedy. The movie starts as the main girl is fighting with her father on his boat. He doesn't want her to marry this boy, and she's all made at her father over it. So she jumps overboard and swims away. The entire movie is about her trying to make her way to New York with out any money and trying to not get caught by the detectives her wealthy father hired to track her down. In order to get there, she makes friends with the guy who is also traveling. And, as this is not really giving much away, the love story that the audience is routing for is not between the girl and the boy that her father hates, but between the girl and the new guy friend. The absolute best part of this movie (and the reason why I'm considering buying it) is the Wall of Jericho. But, explaining that will give it away, so you should just watch the movie.
