Our popular Sunday Classic Matinee series is getting screwy! Join us once a month from September through March as we highlight some of the wittiest and most charming films in the beloved Screwball Comedy genre. Created out of the aftermath of the Hays Code, which enforced strict morality rules on cinema โ the films in this series offer a masterclass in disguising subversive messaging with fast-talking banter, laughter and innuendo. The series continues in February with one of the most charming films of the 1930's- IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT! Tickets to all Sunday Screwballs are available now at hiwaytheater.org/specials
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ฒ: This early screwball comedy features spitfire dialogue between Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. A spoiled rich girl escapes from her millionaire father, who wants to stop her from marrying a worthless playboy. En route to New York, she gets involved with an out-of-work newsman. When their bus breaks down, the bickering pair set off on a comic hitchhiking expedition.
