Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film. 

In this episode, we’re jumping on a bus with Frank Capra’s 1934 romantic comedy It Happened One Night, written by Robert Riskin. Lead by Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, the latter being paid several times the salary of her male co-star to appear in the film, this movie was one of the last pre-code romantic comedies to be released and is one of only three films - along with Silence of the Lambs and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest - to have been awarded all five of the major Academy Awards - Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. Tonight we’ll be dunking some doughnuts with Ellie and Peter, and perhaps gnawing on a few carrots too. Are these two young people deeply in love? Or are they just ungrateful brats?

Recorded in March 2022.
