It's a Wonderful World
THE HAPPENINGS OF ONE WONDERFUL NIGHT!
Directed by W.S. Van Dyke
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A madcap screwball comedy that treats murder, framing, and execution as springboards for romantic hijinks and farcical escapades rather than genuine peril.
Detective Guy Johnson's client, Willie Heywood, is framed for murder. While Guy hides him so he can catch the real killer, both of them are nabbed by the police, tried, convicted and sentenced to jail: Guy for a year with Willie to be executed. On the way to jail, Guy comes across a clue and escapes from the police.
