IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT
starstarstarstarstar
The great sleeper of 1934, and a true Hollywood landmark: Not only was it the first picture to win Oscars in all five major categories, it was also one of the earliest great screwball comedies.

TVGuide.com: How'd you spend your hiatus?David Boreanaz: It was kind of short, since we finished later than normal and started back on production in June.
