In our first episode of Extra Milestone, we celebrate the 85th anniversary of Frank Capra's It Happened One Night, which was released on February 22, 1934 and stars Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. Largely hailed as the first screwball comedy and an early precursor to the modern rom-com, this is one film you'll definitely want to cross off your cinematic bucket list, or perhaps revisit.

Intro music composed by Howard Jackson and Louis Silvers.

Hosted by: Jon Negroni, Will Ashton, and Sam Noland.
