Oscar Loves... The Open Road

<p>Whether it's hitchhiking or the night bus, this month our Oscarologists gather to discuss the Academy's love of an epic road trip.</p> <p>Frank Capra's <em>It Happened One Night</em> see Claudette Colbert's socialite flee her imposing father only to run into Clark Gable's ramshackle reporter in desperate need of a story.</p> <p>In <em>Midnight Cowboy</em> we watch an unlikely friendship form between two hustlers in New York, newly-arrived Joe Buck (Jon Voight) and ailing conman 'Ratso' Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman). </p> <p>Thank you to Thomas Whitelaw for our intro music and Rachel Valentine Smith for our artwork.</p>
