How here is Frank Capra's comic touch with Clark Gable in one of his rare comic roles, with Claudette Colbert.

The Guide to Hitchhiking from "It Happened One Night"

This was the movie that made Gable a star. Louie Mayer had loaned Gable to Harry Cohn at Columbia as punishment, and the movie put Gable in the position of demanding whatever he wanted from Mayer when he got back to MGM.
