The following paper analyzes the plot of the 1934 film It Happened One Night, by Frank Capra, an authentic emblem within the film genre of romantic comedy. In it, the protagonists manage to overcome the obstacles that are offered in their way thanks to the pretense of a relationship, the marital one, which finally will end up becoming effective. Recalling a famous Lacanian sentence, according to which human beings “pretend to pretend”, the plot devised by Capra will be analyzed in order to go over the steps that sequence such pretenses. These give order to a process of maturity in which the characters will become what they represent, evidencing the sexual nature of the desire that had impelled them to unite their respective paths
