Joe Walker's cinematography is so shimmeringly diffused that it almost imparts a sense of fairytale over the gradual warming of relationships between Princess Colbert and Peasant Gable (both marvellous). Capra's camera is fluid, but relishes long takes when it finds them, Robert Riskins's screenplay (from Samuel Hopkins Adams' short story) is tough and sweet, and seminal, reaching anything from The Sure Thing to Runaway Bride.
