Valentine's Day Dinner and a Movie: It Happened One Night

  • Viewdocument_large

At first, newspaperman Clark Gable doesn't give a damn about affluent runaway Claudette Colbert, going as far as to erect a "Wall of Jericho" between their beds during their cross-country meet. But since this is Frank Capra and his brand of all's-well-that-ends-well comedy, that macho dam can't hold back the amour for long. Indeed, this screwball caper is thoroughly pleasant and charming in its depiction of a classic opposites-attract romance. Valentines can do the film before dinner, after dinner, or sans dinner — though tonight's menu advises otherwise, with first courses like lobster risotto, duck confit crepes, and a melted leek and gruyere tart.
