"It Happened One Night" The Walls of Jericho (2)

[scmckinney1]

About the only flaw in the editing of this movie was in this scene where Ellie flees to the other side of the Walls of Jericho. In the movie, she is shown starting to move just before the dropping of the pants, and the next view shows here "starting" to move again. Here it seems as if henriflix has done a better job of editing.

"Savvy?" rofl Clark Gable has a Captain Jack Moment.

[butterbeanbby95]

I like privacy when I retire, prying eyes annoy me xD Clark Gable is a riot

[starlite450]

I don't care if I'm sixteen and that he's been dead for ages, I love Clark Gable.

[DIEaHEROdotNET]

@starlite450 agreed

[nrhoyt1]

I love the economic history of this scene... Clark Gable did not wear an undershirt so the sale of undershirts decreased dramatically because everyone wanted to be like Gable. The sale of undershirts has never been the same... hahaha! Funny and True!

[DIEaHEROdotNET]

@nrhoyt1 that's interesting, never knew that thanks

[Hermionefan2121]

Hahaha I just realized that he did that because he wanted the bigger half of the room. Oh, I love this movie!

[goofygoat2009]

"These cabins cost 2 bucks a night"...if only that were still true.

[BigManonMGMlot]

3:41 I never noticed this before, he winks after he says "that pants should be next." how awesome is that

[neonriot77]

"Well, I like privacy when I retire."

[MsAsianNinja]

2 bucks? LOL

[DesQueJteVois]

I love the clever ways movies from this era overcame that silly Hayes code.

[Txdolphin07]

ahahahah loved the part when he undressed, she ran! i love their romantic tension. this s just the beginning. (:

[edgarivanrivero]

is funny how clark gable with his 6ft 1in tall, look huge comparate to everyone, even with the average deparment of the 30s.

[blondfromfinland]

I wouldn't have run off if Clark Gable were undressing in front of me.

[MaraZys]

this is such a great scene...it's funny. Clark is so sexy and confident.. love it!

[xandro83]

This movie was soooo original. Love it

[FredcatFan]

"Prying eyes annoy me." LOL

One of the best movies of all time!

[Serenity113]

I love this movie. Claudette looks gorgeous and Clark Gable is sooooo handsome. :D

[SweetCherimoya]

You got that right! Clark Gable must be THE HUNK of the century!!!

[hihosilverlining2]

@SweetCherimoya - one of...but a great one!

[RCJAdrenALIN]

YEAH BABY ! Break Down the Walls of Jericho !

[mondindon]

[JackSparrowluvr25]

I <3 this movie!

[evamarlow]

Hilarious. Very fun. Clark Gable is so delightful, and Claudette is adorable too. Thanks.

[unguardedsmiles]

My favorite Clark Gable movie

[purplelover1192]

this is one of my favorite movies of all time...they have great chemistry

[LilMissFlapper]

@purplelover1192 i finally figured out how to hook up my old vcr and i have been watching this over and over!

[thebride6781]

This scene is so deliciously sexy! So classic and fun. This is the best of Clark Gable and he was so wonderful as actor with perfect timing. He winks at her before removing his shoes and about to remove his pants. Absolutely perfect.

[cellulitelove]

best? aw what about gone with the wind?

[scotpens]

Gable's perfomance in GWTW was not chopped liver, but in this picture he and the delightful Claudette Colbert have perfect chemistry and comic timing. As the great English actor Edmund Kean supposedly said on his deathbed, "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."

[cellulitelove]

of course, delightful indeed, can't argue that lol <3

[mithol]

Clark Gable without a shirt... Shoot me!

[scotpens]

There's a popular myth about this picture that after audiences saw Gable take off his shirt, revealing his bare chest, sales of men's undershirts plummeted. However, there's no evidence to support that story -- it's just been repeated so often that it's become a factoid. Maybe men were buying fewer undershirts because of the Depression. Or maybe Clark Gable was only reflecting a style trend that was already happening. Or maybe the whole thing is just B.S.!

[cellulitelove]

yeah my teacher mentioned this in cinema history class haha

[AuntSnowWhite]

This was the first movie I ever saw Clark Gable in...I was in high school and hooked from that moment on.  Love that man. Plus, hello, Bugs Bunny was modeled after Clark in this movie. How cool is that!?!

[scotpens]

Where did you hear that? Sorry, I don't see any resemblance between Bugs Bunny and Clark Gable -- except maybe the ears!

[AuntSnowWhite]

It's the scene where he's leaning against the fence chewing on a carrot while Claudette is trying to get them a ride. I saw it on one of those movie recap shows they show on TCM and then again on a site about Bugs Bunny some time back. Just trivial stuff that for some reason stuck in my brain.

[cellulitelove]

yes bugs bunny was inspired by clark gable. this was the first movie i ever saw clark gable in as well.

[tlacf]

It won Oscar for best picture, a feat paramount pictures didn't accomplish again until On Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, very many many decades later! Both Great Movies!

[scotpens]

"It Happened One Night" was made by Columbia Pictures, not Paramount.

[tlacf]

'Scuse my silly mistake, of course you are right, Columbia pictures did make both 'it happened one night' and 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest'

[ilovejosephriviera]

omg i love this film. claudette and clark are one of the greatest actors ever.

[juxtaposdbologna]

Yeah, the general consensus during that time was that the only films worth awards were serious. This movie is awesome.

[trishiary]

I love this film. You should post the "Flying Trapeze" scene -- it's one of my favorites ever.

[Diedl]

I really liked this movie. Thanks!

[countrygirltori]

I think the best thing about this movie is that both of them didn't want to do it but it became a hit. Claudette Colbert even said to her friends after finishing filming "I just finished the worst picture of the year"
