Book a dinner date with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert this Valentine’s Day at Stockport Plaza. Frank Capra’s (It’s A Wonderful Life) 1934 romantic classic screens in the luxurious Art Deco surrounds of the Grade II listed super cinema on Friday 14 February.

The beloved film stars Colbert as a runaway heiress who meets Gable’s out-of-work newspaperman on a bus from Florida to New York. Despite taking an instant dislike to one another, sparks inevitably fly between the bickering pair when they’re forced to hitchhike cross-country. It Happened One Night was the first film to win all five major Academy Awards, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

If the pedigree of the movie wasn’t enough, the Plaza have lined up multiple ticket options, from standard admission, to Champagne Tickets, or even pre-film dinner and a drink. For moviegoers and old romantics looking to make an evening of it, there is the option to sit for a two course set menu in the intimate Café Lounge before enjoying the classic romantic comedy on the big screen — all you have to do is book the tickets.
