“Oh this? Well, I like privacy when I retire. Yes, I’m very delicate in that respect. Prying eyes annoy me. Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have no trumpet. Now just to show you my heart’s in the right place, I’ll give you my best pair of pajamas. “
– Peter Warne (Clark Gable), It Happened One Night (1934), screenplay by Robert Riskin, adapted from the story “Night Bus” by Samuel Hopkins Adams
There’s no trailer available on the Web, but here’s part of the famous “Walls of Jericho” scene. Lots of sexual subtext in this sequence.
