It happened one night with you

You'd be forgiven for thinking you were watching It Happened One Night, for that's what One Night With You appears to be loosely based on. In the red corner, the gorgeous Patricia Roc takes on the Claudette Colbert role with splendour. In the blue corner, Nino Martini is a bit old and loose around the jowels to play a Clark Gable, but he at least has a nice singing voice. The pair, total strangers, miss their trains and end up stuck together for the night in Italy, with no food, clothes, or money. A lot ensues before the next morning, including a stay in the local prison! Mary (Roc)'s father, fiance, and lover also tag along for part of the ride. 8/10
