      Sparky B Basically, it's a musical remake of 'It Happened One Night' (1934). June Allyson and Jack Lemmon do their best but ultimately.... it's not nearly as entertaining. Do yourself a favor and stick with the original with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. You'll be a happier person for it. 😐 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Steve D ... but you should, as fast as you can. An absolute insult to the original classic. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Pale imitation of It Happened One Night fails to capture the magic of the first, a fools errand, but is pleasant enough. One of the problems is that Jack Lemmon & June Allyson share little chemistry, a vital component to the first film. Well made but lacking. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member so so remake of 1931's 'it happened one night" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Early Jack Lemmon is charming in this wonderful road film. Sure, it's not "It Happened One Night" but it's a fine way to pass the time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It was ok, but see the original cause it is way better.
