Claudette Colbert started at Paramount when it was transitioning to sound and still had studios based in New York. From 1929 to 1944, she appeared in 26 motion pictures for the studio. In 1934, she earned an Oscar on loan out for IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT. But the Paramount films she made were her bread and butter. She worked with DeMille, Lubitsch, Leisen and Sturges– all the studio’s prestige directors. And she probably had the best leading men and greatest selection of scripts that any actress ever had at Paramount.
