===Filming=== [[Image:Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night.jpg|left|thumb|266x266px|The [[hitchhiking]] scene]] Filming began in a tense atmosphere as Gable and Colbert were dissatisfied with the quality of the script. Capra understood their dissatisfaction and let screenwriter Robert Riskin rewrite it.<ref name="Harris"/> Colbert continued to show her displeasure on the set. She also initially balked at pulling up her skirt to entice a passing driver to provide a ride, complaining that it was unladylike. Upon seeing the chorus girl who was brought in as her [[body double]], an outraged Colbert told the director, "Get her out of here. I'll do it. That's not my leg!"<ref name=Pace>Pace, Eric.
