Ellie Andrews is the young daughter of a millionaire who doesn’t accept her marriage. She decides to run away to New York so that she can be reunited with her fiancé. On a night bus she encounters Peter Wayne, a recently fired reporter who offers her a deal: if Ellie gives him the exclusive story, he won’t tell anyone where she is and will help her get to her destiny. Ellie accepts the offer and the two embark on a road trip full of adventures, during which their initial distaste for each other makes room for other feelings. Winner of five Academy awards, including best picture and best director. Preserved by the Museum of Modern Art with funding provided by The Film Foundation.
