NOTES & TRIVA
First film to win "sweap" all five major Oscars (Picture,
Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay).
The Writing Adaptation award went to Robert Riskin.
Gable and Cobert remain the only co-starring team to have won Oscars
at the same time.
It was one of the biggest hits of it's day and it is still fresh
and funny.
It was Gable's first go at playing comedy.
It has many memorable scenes, including: the hitch-hiking scene
and the tumbling of "the Walls of Jericho".
Remade as musicals: EVE KNEW HER APPLES and YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM
IT.
