Director Frank Capra's 1934 film stars Claudette Colbert as an heiress who runs away from her father and Clark Gable as a reporter who thinks he's found the perfect scoop.
Colbert had made a film with Capra before, the 1927 movie "For the Love of Mike," but it hadn't gone well and she had decided never to work with him again. The director was able to make her break that promise after her salary for the movie was doubled and he promised to film her scenes in the movie in a month so she would have time to take a vacation.
