Colbert was reluctant to appear as the "runaway heiress", Ellie Andrews, in the Frank Capra romantic comedy, It Happened One Night (1934), opposite Clark Gable and released by Columbia Pictures. Behind schedule after several actresses had refused the role, the studio accepted Colbert's demand that she be paid $50,000 and that filming was to be completed within four weeks to allow her to take a planned vacation. she was a tartar, but a cute one."[14]

In Preston Sturges' 1942 comedy THE PALM BEACH STORY, Colbert leaves her failing-inventor husband in search of one with money. She ends up in Palm Beach and meets all kinds of entertaining characters, including those played by William Demarest, Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor. Some say this film is Colbert at her comic best.

Excellent romantic comedy stars Claudette Colbert as a working girl whose romance with blueblood Ray Milland becomes fodder for her best friend (Fred MacMurray), a reporter who catapults her to notoriety. Also starring C. Aubrey Smith. Decent quality.
