  • "It Happened One Night" 400 foot digest from Columbia

    I think this is the right place to post rather than the review section, since I don't have it.

    This one comes up for sale often, and I have been tempted to get it. How is it, relatively speaking? I would hope at the very least it contains the doughnut-dunking scene, the hitchhiking scene, and of course the "Walls of Jericho". Hopefully a scene with the blackmailer from the bus. When Gable turns the table on him, and he gets the wits scared out of him, it is an lol scene! Also his "Believe you me" scene, which Gable gives him as a moniker when talking about him with Claudette.

    Is the narration par for the course? Hopefully not too bad. The only other Columbia B&W classic digest I have is "The Awful Truth", and the narration is not bad at all. Did anyone ever release this as a full-feature in Super 8? Timeless movie semi-remade in the 80s as "The Sure Thing", but never officially acknowledged as such, to the best of my knowledge. Maybe I'm just a "classic film" nerd.
