It is heavily guard by the state army who is fighting against the rebel militias, who want freedom over their homeland. Each person in the bus has their own task ; seeking better jobs, fulfilling family needs, settling personal matters, or simply wanting to come back home. They think this would be another usual trip to the conflict area, but they do not realise theres a stowaway with a very important message to end the conflict.

It Happened One Night
Directed by Frank Capra
Written by Robert Riskin
USA, 1934
When Frank Capra came upon the 1933 Samuel Hopkins Adams story “Night Bus,” he thought it would make a great film. He bought the property and took it to screenwriter Robert Riskin, with whom he had worked a few years prior on Platinum Blonde (1931). The script was set to be Capra’s next feature for Columbia, then a lower-rung studio where he was their preeminent director. The problem? Nobody wanted to make the film. Several top actors and actresses of the day turned down the picture, Robert Montgomery, Carole Lombard, and Myrna Loy among them. Clark Gable, not yet the caliber of star he would become, eventually accepted the male lead, and Claudette Colbert eventually (and reluctantly) took the female lead … under the condition that her $25,000 salary would be doubled, which it was. The film’s entire budget...

Composer Atticus Ross, best known for his and Trent Reznor’s Oscar-winning score for The Social Network and his masterful work on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Book of Eli, as curated a playlist sharing his musical inspiration behind the soundtrack for Broken City – which we’ve reviewed right here.
The playlist is below, followed by the embedded Rdio player so you can listen to the album in full right here on Blogomatic3000.
Broken City follows a disgraced ex-cop turned private detective (Mark Walhberg) who uncovers a much grander scandal when he’s double-crossed by the mayor of New York (Russell Crowe).
Ross takes us along this action-packed journey with music that builds an equally compelling sound narrative, bookending the playlist with David Bowie tracks and sprinkling his own signature haunting sound from the film in between.
1. David Bowie – Heroes
2. Tangerine Dream – Love on a Real Train (Risky Business)

The Abertoir Skull There's a reason Madness have never written a song called Night Bus To Birmingham. Well, several reasons. When you tell people you're going to spend seven hours stuck on a cramped National Express coach in order to reach England's second city—home of Aston Villa and the Bullring Shopping Centre, historic birthplace of Dame Barbara Cartland—the general reaction is one of shocked disbelief. This doesn't change when you explain that actually you're only using Brum as a convenient stepping-stone to Aberystwyth, where there is a horror festival.
More fool them. This particular bus is full of happy Celtic supporters heading back home to Manchester, flushed with victory over Barcelona, arguably the best team in the world. The atmosphere is one of garrulous bonhomie. The pointless, deafening safety announcements broadcast down the length of the bus and into the world beyond after every stop make it impossible to sleep,...

It Happened One Night (1934) Direction: Frank Capra Cast: Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable, Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns Screenplay: Robert Riskin; from Samuel Hopkins Adams' short story "Night Bus" Oscar Movies Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, It Happened One Night By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica: It is a very rare thing when a light-hearted comedy, something that is quintessentially the stuff of a "good movie," breaches into that territory where the term "good film" can also be applied, but Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934), adapted by Capra's longtime collaborator Robert Riskin from Samuel Hopkins Adams' short story "Night Bus," may be such an exception. Today, most people know Capra solely for his rediscovered classic It's a Wonderful Life, made a dozen years later, but It Happened One Night was his first stab at what most critics would label greatness. The fact that the film is a comedy is all...
