Classic comedy starring Clark Gable (and his ears) as a newspaper reporter who stumbles on the story of his life, missing heiress Claudette Colbert (and her eyebrows) on an overnight bus trip. She's a spoiled brat and he's a gruff reporter, but with time his romantic side is revealed and the Walls of Jericho come down. The dialogue is snappy, the chemistry between the leads sizzling, but it tends to drag a bit in the middle and the Wall of Jericho gag is overplayed.
